Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Using a spoon, stir in the cake flour one cup at a time, until the mixture forms a cohesive dough, like a very thick and clumpy cookie dough. As you add the last cup of flour, the mixture will be difficult to stir, so feel free to ditch the spoon and use your hands to mix it in. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and set an oven rack to the middle position. Grease a 9 x 13-in cake pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar on medium-high speed, scraping the bowl as necessary, until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating until incorporated after each addition (don't worry if the batter looks a little curdled at this point). Beat in the vanilla and scrape the bowl to make sure everything is evenly combined. Add the flour mixture alternately with the sour cream (half of the flour/all of the sour cream/then the remaining half of the flour), mixing on low speed with each addition, until just combined.
- Spread the cake batter evenly in the cake pan (it will only come about ¾ inch up the sides of the pan). Top the batter with the streusel crumbs, using your fingers to break it apart and form it into roughly ½-inch chunks. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until a cake tester inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool fully on a rack. Dust with powdered sugar and cut into squares to serve. Cover the cake with aluminum foil and store at room temperature; it will keep nicely for up to 3 days. To keep the cake fresher longer, store it in the refrigerator but bring it to room temperature before serving.
- Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The cake can be frozen for up to 3 months. After it is completely cooled, wrap it tightly with aluminum foil or freezer wrap. Thaw overnight on the countertop before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or line with parchment paper. You can use a glass, ceramic, or metal baking pan. The bake time is similar for each, but use a toothpick to test for doneness. Metal baking pans cook cakes faster. Set pan aside.
- Mix the brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt together in a medium bowl. Stir in the melted butter, then gently mix the flour using a fork. Keep the mixture as large crumbles, do not over-mix. If over-mixed, this will turn into a thick paste. Set aside.
- Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together. Set aside.
- Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and granulated sugar together on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Add the eggs, sour cream, and the vanilla. Beat on medium-high speed until combined. The mixture may look curdled; that's ok. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl as needed. With the mixer on low speed, mix in the dry ingredients until smooth. Do not over-mix. The batter will be thick, creamy, and sticky.
- Spread the batter evenly into prepared baking pan. Top with crumb topping. Using a rubber spatula or the back of a large spoon, press the crumb topping tightly down into the cake so it sticks.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes. Baking times vary, so keep an eye on yours and begin checking at 45 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If you find the top or edges of the cake is/are browning too quickly in the oven, loosely cover it with aluminum foil.
- Remove the cake from the oven and set on a wire rack. Allow to slightly cool for at least 30-45 minutes before cutting. If desired, dust with confectioners' sugar before slicing and serving. Use a sifter/fine mesh sieve.

GRANDMA'S CRUMB CAKE CUPCAKES (OR CAKE)
This is a recipe my grandmother made all the time. I didn't like raisins, so she always made half without. Was I spoiled, or what? Like many of her old recipes that I have found, she didn't have instructions, just ingredients. (she used a wood stove to cook until I was in junior high (1960s), so many of her recipes just said bake in a hot oven, etc.) I tend to write down ingredients but no directions myself! NOTE: See step #8 for directions on baking as an oblong cake.

CINNAMON CRUMB CUPCAKES
This recipe comes from Penzeys Spices Early Summer 2006 catalog. I got excited when I found this recipe because I was getting tired of buying the little crumb cakes in the vending machine at work. It was getting too expensive. Now I can make these up for less money and keep some in the freezer for a quick breakfast, snack, or share with friends at a coffee break. My 6 year old son loves them for breakfast.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- You will need two muffin pans that hold 12 muffins each. Lightly spray with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter and sugar. Add the vanilla and eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Combine the flour and baking powder together in a bowl and add to the butter, sugar, and egg mixture. Mix on low speed until well blended-the batter will be very thick.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 24 cups. This will fill them about half way.
- For the topping, mix together the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl.
- Add the hard butter and cut it in to the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs-you can use your hands for this, rubbing it between your fingertips. Don't make it too fine, you want it to have some body to it. Note: I use my hand held pastry blender tool.
- Put about 1 tablespoon of the streusel topping over each cake using up all of the topping;you will not see much of the batter.
- Bake in a preheated oven on two shelves for about 18 minutes, switching shelves after the first 10 minutes.
- They are done when a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Do not overbake;start checking them at about 16 minutes.
- Cool 5 minutes in the pans then remove to a cooling rack.

GRANDMAS ONE BOWL CRUMB CAKE
My mom found this in my school fundraiser cookbook. It was a novelty back then. Easy crumb cake all in one bowl! Just a dusting of crumbs with a spicy cake. Now you see this kind of thing everywhere. It tastes a lot like muffins from Mimi's and other restaurants. Thank you mom, for all the years of crumb cake you inspired us...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugars, flour, baking soda and powder, the salt, nutmeg and cinnamon. Cut the butter in either with your fingers or a pastry cutter. Remove 1/2 cup of this to save as topping.
- 2. Here I set aside some topping. Nuts are optional. I added them to both the batter and the topping.
- 3. Oh no, not enough buttermilk! But never fear, there are always options. I could just fill the rest with milk, although it will be a thinner batter. Or I could add a blob of sour cream and then top off with milk. As it happens, I have some plain yogurt, "European Style" which means runny. So I just put about 1/4 cup of that in with the buttermilk and then topped off with the milk. Works like a charm. As long as you get about the desired thickness of liquid. If I had to make it with just milk, I would use less, and I would have used more baking powder and less of the baking soda. Baking soda works best with acidic liquids like buttermilk and yogurt. Baking powder is best when used with just milk.
- 4. Add the egg to the measuring cup holding the buttermilk, whisk and add to the flour mixture. Stir with a danish whisk or wooden spoon until just mixed.(If the batter seems just too thick, add 2 tablespoon or more of milk to it.) Pour into a greased 9 x 13 baking pan.
- 5. Sprinkle the reserved topping over the crumb cake batter. Optionally, you can top with chopped nuts as well. Bake until the cake springs back when pressed with a finger and is golden brown. (About 35 minutes)
