How to Make New Jersey Crumb Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 cup milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  7. For the crumb topping: Cut 1 cup (2 sticks) cold butter into 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 2 cups refrigerated biscuit mix, and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  8. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter.
  9. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before dusting with ¼ to ½ cup powdered sugar.
