Coffee Crumb Cake

Versión en español

I love coffee crumb cakes, they always hit the spot. I think of them as comfort food. They are also very forgiving and easy to bake. This recipe lent a rich and fluffy cake. All ingredients are very basic and usually at hand.

It's one of the things I usually do when I am invited to an activity and have to bring something everybody really likes. Travels well and doesn't need to be refrigerated.

For storage, I cut the Coffee Crumb Cake, freeze and eat it slowly with my mid-afternoon coffee. During summer, I add any ripe fruit at hand.
