Crumb Cake

Just like the fudge recipes, I have over 10 recipes for crumb or coffee cakes. They are all very different from each other. I wish I could talk to the people who wrote up the recipes to see if I'm doing it right... because this crumb cake turned out rather dense. I do like it, however. I think it is mainly due to the "dash of  nutmeg". This crumb cake has a very Christmas-y taste.

The recipe says to bake this for "about 1 hour", but I only baked mine for 40 minutes. I think baking it for a shorter amount of time may allow it to retain more moisture. The batter is very thick and sticky, so I'm not sure. Let me know if you try this recipe and how it turns out!
