I don't remember a time when this wasn't a part of my life! She would add any fresh-past it's prime- fruit that needed to be used up... so I thought oh well, why not the cherries!
My favorite part of the recipe is the last ingredient... "milk till drippy". I LOVE THAT!
Of course, that may be why the cake is always just a little different each time I make it.
Maybe one day I'll measure it out... or not.
Hope you love it if you try it:@)
Crumb Cake2 C AP flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
6 Tblsp sugar
1 egg
2 Tblsp melted shortening (I use vegetable oil)
1 tsp vanilla
*milk till drippy*
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9" pan or deep dish pie plate, I don't flour these LeCreuset baking dishes, but if you use glass or metal you might want to flour your pan too.
Mix all, add to pan. You can add fruit to the top or just leave it plain.
Crumbs
3/4 C AP flour
1/2 C sugar
1/2 C butter, melted (I use about 2 Tblsp less, you can always add more if needed)
Mix flour and sugar, add butter making sure to leave some bigger crumbs. You can add cinnamon or nutmeg to this before the butter if you'd like.
Add to top of cake and bake for approx 48 minutes.
Note: G-Mom-B's notes said to dot the top with butter... I think that's well represented already:@).

That looks really good. I'm sure Jordan would love it.
ReplyDeleteYum! This looks so golden and crumbly(of course)!
ReplyDeleteI love tried and true family recipes! This is perfect for Flash Back Friday. Thanks for playing along. I need to put this one into my "To try" pile. The addition of fruit to a crumb cake sounds good. Do you ever use raw fruit..like chopped apples, or do you always used something thats been cooked down a bit?
ReplyDeleteYummy, this looks good. I think I'll just come over and 'test' it! :)
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
I've never made a crumb cake before. This looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds wonderful - and so good for using up fruit or pie filling!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds soooo good. I like that it will work so well with all fruits. I love the "drippy" part. As a child, I remember us having my gmom's cook book and reading the funny instructions.
ReplyDeleteYou brought back sweet memories. thanks. I am going to the freezer right now and get some peaches from last summer.
Hugs, Ginger
I love when those kind of terms are in a recipe (pinch of this, dab of that), but that's the best yet. I've never heard that one. Yours looks soooo good! I do want to try this recipe. Hope I get the milk part right! Thank you for linking this to Favorite Things. laurie
