Crumb Cake for Grandma

Tomorrow my dad and I are driving to riverdale to visit my grandmother because I havent had the chance this summer to see her and I dont know if i will have another chance before I go back to school. So we thought it would be nice to make something and bring it to her. So I decided that crumb cake would be easy but delicious.

Crumb Cake

Crumb Topping:
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1 stick butter - melted
1 1/3 cup flour

Cake:
6 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2/3 cup sour cream
1 1/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium sized bowl, mix together the crumb topping ingredients and set aside when fully mixed. In a large stand mixer beat together sugar and butter till light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add in the eggs one at a time, beating in between each addition. Add vanilla, lemon zest and sour cream and mix till combined. In a small bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Gradually add in flour mixture and beat till fully combined. Pour batter into a 9 inch cake pan that has been buttered and floured lightly. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

I am hoping that this cake turned out well and that my grandmother and anyone else who tries it will enjoy it. Till next time,
Keep Cooking Brooklyn!
