Today's recipe for Crumb Coffee Cake comes from another one of Grandma's old church cookbooks. I'm sure the name comes from the fact that it's make like - a crumb cake. As you can see by the recipe itself, my mom had first made this one in 1970, and SHE thought it was "good". If you're having weekend company any time soon (say - Easter), you might want to have this recipe at the ready! Maybe you need something to bring to a baby or wedding shower. Maybe you just want to enjoy a treat with your afternoon coffee. No matter what you need this one for, you're going to love it! Grandma and Grandpa were pretty big on afternoon coffee, and I think, as far as they were concerned, one could never have too many recipes for coffee cake. They may be heading to someone's house for afternoon coffee in this photo!
They had so many family members and so many friends to have coffee with - I've never seen anything like it. They loved to entertain, and they did in fact, entertain about 10 the week before they moved to assisted living when they were both in their mid 80's! Gosh, I miss them. 
Here is the recipe as I made it:
Crumb Coffee Cake
Sift together:
2 1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
Add:
3/4 cup salad oil (I used avocado)
Mix well and set aside 3/4 cup of this mixture.
To the first part add:
1 cup sour milk (I add about 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar to the milk to make it sour)
1 teaspoon baking soda
Beat well.
Add:
1 egg
Mix all together.
Pour into greased 9" x 13" pan.
Add to the 3/4 cup of first mixture set aside:
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped nuts (I used pecans)
Sprinkle over top of batter.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes.
This coffee cake mixes up pretty quick.
Don't forget to keep out 3/4 of a cup for later.
I sprinkled the baking soda over all first, then mixed in the sour milk, and then the egg.
It does have a delicious topping!
Sprinkle the topping over the batter as evenly as you can.
Looks pretty good!
I had to try this coffee cake with a nice cup of - coffee!
It smells pretty amazing while it's baking!
No matter what you need this coffee cake for, you're going to want to try this one. It's pretty easy to make, and it's pretty darn tasty - just like a crumb cake! You're guests will love it when you bring a pan of this along to your next gathering or afternoon coffee. You'd better have some copies of this recipe before you head to said gathering, because everyone will want a copy of the recipe for this Crumb Coffee Cake.
