How to Make Ann's Velvet Crumb Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine all cake ingredients (see below) until well blended. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  3. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. While the cake is baking, prepare the icing: Combine icing ingredients in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently, for 5-7 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  5. Once the cake is baked, immediately remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Gently poke holes all over the warm cake using a fork or toothpick.
  6. Slowly pour the warm icing evenly over the cake, allowing it to soak in.
  7. For a perfectly caramelized top, carefully place the cake under the broiler for 30 seconds to 1 minute, watching closely to prevent burning. Remove immediately once lightly browned.
  8. Let the cake cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
