Crumb Cake

This cake is, by far, my family's favorite dessert. It is sort of like a spice cake. It's from an old war recipe handed down through my family. It's amazing!

This recipe originally made a smaller pan, but we always double it so there's enough to go around. Here I am sharing the doubled recipe.

I thought I would share the recipe with you all. Here it is:

Crumb Cake

Directions:

Mix:

3 cups flour

1 1/2 cup sugar

1 cup shortening

2 tsp. salt

Rub together as for pie crust with a fork or pastry blender.

Save 1 cup crumbs to sprinkle on top of cake later.

Add:

2 cups sour milk

1 tsp. each of baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and vanilla.

Mix. Pour into a greased 13 x 9 inch pan. Sprinkle crumbs evenly on top of cake.

Bake at 350 degrees F. for about 30 minutes.

Enjoy!

I hope you're all having a great day!
