I AM EXCITED TO SHARE WITH YOU MY SECOND RECIPE FROM FAN FAVORITES! THIS RECIPE IS FROM TERRY. HER FRIEND TAUGHT HER TO MAKE THIS CAKE 20 YEARS AGO. NOW 20 YEARS LATER, TERRY IS STILL MAKING IT FOR ALMOST EVERY FAMILY AND WORK PARTY. NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY! THE CRUMBS IN THIS ALONE ARE ENOUGH TO MAKE YOU SWOON!!!! IGNORE THE AMOUNT OF BUTTER....IT'S WORTH EVERY STICK!!! THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR RECIPE WITH US TERRY!!!!! XOXO (ANY CHANGES I MADE, I ADDED BELOW)

Hi Danielle! Mmmmm....crumb cake! Being born and raised in New York, crumb cakes rule!!!!! Every bakery, deli, and mom&pop eatery serve this to the breakfast crowd=D This looks like a scrumptious recipe worth trying! Thanks for sharing this one=D
LOL Danielle, every time i've tried butter, the crumbs came out screwy... and the person who gave me the recipe 20+ years ago specified butter & margarine! Hahaha!!
I don't do well waiting overnight either... i'll lay the crumbs on a cookie sheet and put in the freezer til they are rock hard. AND thank you for making a HALF batch... i've always wanted to do that, cause a jelly roll pan size is great for a party, but not a random wednesday! <3 Terry
HOPE U LOVE IT TOO MYRNA! TERRY-SHE SPECIFIES BUTTER OR MARGARINE? YES THE HALF BATCH IS PERFECT FOR A WEDNESDAY, OR TUESDAY, OR FRIDAY OR ALL! HAHAHAHA
