Coffe Crumb cake

Coffe Crumb Cake

This is my mother’s recipe and it has not failed me yet! My favorite part about this recipe is

the whole cranberry sauce that really makes this a special dish. The brown sugar and the chopped
nuts make my whole house smell really good – a great wintertime

dish!

Ingredients:

1 cup sugar
½ cup butter at room temperature
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups sifted flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ cup chopped nuts (I use pecans)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ cup brown sugar
⅓ cup whole cranberry sauce (see photo)
1 Angel food cake pan (see photo)

Cream together the butter and sugar then add the eggs, sour cream and vanilla.

Add the flour, baking powder and baking soda and combine. This mixture will get a little

heavy, so break out a mixer or a strong spoon to stir with. Combine well.

Next, pour only about 1/3 of the batter into the very well greased angel food cake pan.

Sprinkle ½ of the nuts, cinnamon and brown sugar into the pan on top of the batter you just
poured. Then add about ½ of the cranberry sauce too, in very small amounts, but be careful. If
you put in too much cranberry sauce at this point the cake will be too mushy. This will make a
nice delicious center of the cake. After all this then pour in all the rest of the batter then top it all
off with all the rest of the nuts, cinnamon, brown sugar and cranberry sauce.
