Aunt Lillian's Crumb Cake

Submitted by: Rose Gearheard 
MY AUNT LILLIAN made her fabulous crumb cake every weekend when we came to visit. She created this recipe back in the '40s. Knowing my father loved it, she shared the recipe with my mother, who passed it on to me. I serve it as a coffee cake for Sunday brunch or for dessert. -Rose Gearheard, Phoenix, Oregon

The best thing about this cake is how good it tastes. The next best thing is I can prepare it in about 45 minutes, since it gets frosted while still warm. I've even dashed home from work at lunch, baked this dessert and returned with it for an afternoon celebration. --Rosemary Woodrow, Sparks, Nevada
