Crumb Lover's Coffee Cake

Ultra-tender cake & double the crumb! [logo]( Bake of the Week Crumb Lover's Coffee Cake [hero]( David Tamarkin Editorial Director Dear bakers, In this [year of coffee cakes](, we're releasing recipes to please every type of baker: the cinnamon-lover, the chocolate-lover, the sprinkles-lover. Today we focus on a particularly vocal contingent of coffee cake fans: the streusel-lover. The [Crumb Lover's Coffee Cake]( is for people who eat their coffee cakes from the top-down, picking off the streusel layer because they just can't help themselves. Compared to our [Cinnamon-Crisp Coffee Cake](, it has twice as much crumb topping and half as much cake. It also skips the filling, resulting in a low-profile and extremely irresistible cake that for me has the nostalgic look of those packaged snack cakes you'd buy at a convenience store. (I love those, but I don't think I have to tell you that this version is miles better.) A note about mixing the crumb topping: the goal is to have it be irregular, with some pieces the size of a pea and some as big as a walnut. If you overwork your crumb topping and it looks too uniform (it will look like sand), grab a handful, gently squeeze it so that it forms a solid mass, and then break it up into bigger pieces. Don't be shy about leaving the crumb chunky. In this crumb-lover's opinion, the bigger the crumbs the better.
