Servings: 15 servings
Ingredients
Crumb Topping
- 1 and ½ cups all purpose flour
- ½ cup brown sugar, firmly packed
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
Coffee Cake
- 1 15.25 ounce box yellow cake mix
- ¾ cup sour cream
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ¼ cup water
- 3 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉ and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Add the ingredients for the crumb topping into a small bowl. Make sure your butter is melted but has cooled down. Use a fork to work the mixture into crumbs not a paste. Refrigerate while mixing the cake together.
- In a large bowl add the cake mix and other ingredients for the cake. Stir the eggs well after adding each one, being careful to not over mix the batter. The batter will be very thick.
- Add half of the cake batter to the prepared baking dish. Layer with about a ⅓ of the crumb topping (I like to have more for the top for a prettier presentation). Use your fingers to sprinkle the crumb topping and break up any crumbs that are very large.
- Carefully spread the remaining cake batter over the crumb layer and repeat with the remaining crumbs for the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until cake is golden brown and a tooth pick inserted comes out clean.
