What is Crumb Cake?
Crumb cake is also known as Streuselkuchen in Germany and Poland where it originated. It is a cake made of yeast dough and topped sweet crumbs.
For this particular recipe, to save on prep time, we used a cake box mix. It’s main ingredients are sugar, butter and flour. Crumb cake is baked in a tray so it’s a flatter and shorter cake.
