Crumb Cake ~ #CakeSliceBakers

If you like a crumb cake with a crumb topping deep enough to swim in, this one is for you. Welcome to the BundtBakers March reveal. This is our third bake from Everyday Little Cakes by Candace Floyd. These little cakes are packed with flavor and won’t leave you with lots of leftovers that will either go to waste or waist. Our choices this month were: Crumb Cake Spice Cake with Brown Sugar Buttercream Jam Cake My choice was the Crumb Cake. After reading the recipe I was concerned about the amount of crumble topping being made. I along with lots of people love a deep buttery crumble topping. I also have never used all the crumble topping I made. Well, this time I decided to follow instructions to a T and use it all. Now I wish I hadn’t. For me, it was too much, and I scraped off most of it from my obligatory slice after the photoshoot. For my tastes, it over-powered the soft crumb of the cake itself and it just seemed to fade into the cake :(. The flavor of the cake is good, and a hot beverage is a great accompaniment to it. Please visit my fellow bakers at the links below to find out their choices for this month’s bake and have a Happy Easter and please stay safe.
