traditional crumb cake topped with a cinnamon  streusel

Cinnamon Sour Cream Crumb Cake Recipe

One day last week, I wanted to make a sweet treat for my family. My husband has been working from home, and my daughters have been doing remote high school since the pandemic hit our area in March. I like to surprise them with a delicious treat now and then.

I was hoping to make my family cookies or something like that, but we were out of milk! I’ve been afraid to venture into the grocery store since we’ve been mostly sheltering at home, so I wasn’t about to go out to get some milk.

So I Googled recipes and discovered that I can make a delicious crumb cake with sour cream – which I had in my fridge. A big plus is that I love crumb cake!

I found the recipe for this crumb cake at Sally’s Baking Addiction. The recipe includes instructions for a vanilla glaze. Check out the Sally’s Baking Addiction recipe if you want to include the glaze. I didn’t include the glaze, since it requires some milk. But, this cinnamon crumb cake with its sweet streusel (crumb topping) on top is perfect without the glaze, in my opinion!

I like that some of the streusel is included in the center and top of the cake. I have to admit that I had some trouble spreading the layers of the cake batter and the streusel evenly – it requires some skill. lol
