Crumb Cake Recipe With Cinnamon Topping

Orange Crumb Cake

Diana Rattray
This is a tasty orange crumb cake with the added flavor of orange and a cinnamon crumb topping. This is a great snack cake for the family, or freeze part of it for another day.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 tablespoons butter, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • dash salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest

Preparation:

Combine flour, sugar, and butter with pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles meal. Measure 1/2 cup of the crumb mixture and move to a separate cup or bowl; blend in the cinnamon then set aside. To the main crumb mixture add baking powder and salt; blend well. Beat egg with the orange juice until well blended; stir with orange zest into the crumb mixture just until dry ingredients are moistened. Pour batter into a greased and floured 8-inch square baking pan. Sprinkle reserved cinnamon-crumb mixture over the batter. Bake at 350° for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick or cake tester inserted in center comes out clean.

This cake was fantastic, especially since it is lower on carbs than other cakes. And for being diabetic, its a plus! A good variation is to try it with lemon and confectioner's sugar instead of cinnamon and orange zest.
