Nothing goes better with a good cup of coffee than a delicious, cinnamon-flavored crumb cake. I made a batch of this simple treat to share with my coworkers last week…it disappeared faster than the coffee! A slice (or two) goes great with a cup of coffee or tea, and who can resist the generous layer of sweet, crumbly streusel on top? I know I can’t!
It’s the yummiest crumb cake ever (in our humble opinion) and the rest of the office agrees! One of the gals in marketing plans to serve it at her family brunch next weekend, but this cake is so easy to make, there’s no reason to wait for a special occasion to enjoy it. A cake like this is great for just about any occasion, from a family brunch to a school bake sale or to take along to book club, our cinnamon crumb cake is perfect at any time!
