And now with the crumbs cake recipe that I will show you today, you won’t have to buy the cake at cafe or bakery, because you will easy be able to make this at your home. I’m going to use a removable rounded pan just to make the cake easier when I release it from the pan. But if you don’t have the one, you can use the regular pan or any pan you prefer to. Besides, I prefer to give a coffee flavored on the cake, I think coffee has a very strong taste and it is good to strengthen the flavor. Since I said that the cake is very easy to make, so the first thing you may have to do to make the cake is beat together the eggs and sugar using the hand mixer or stand mixer until they are light and fluffy and add vanilla extract. Vanilla extract is the common ingredient that almost always used, so before making the cake make sure that you have all the ingredients first. Once you have done with the egg-mixture, in another mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients such as flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt and pour this dry ingredients to the wet ingredients (egg-mixture) make sure that everything is well combined. Then add the sour cream.

Get the spring form or the removable rounded pan spray it with cooking spray and pour the batter here. Combine with sugar and cinnamon together. Then sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar mixture all over the top of the cake batter along with the chopped pecans. Then spoon over the remaining batter with spatula carefully cover the first layer cover with remaining batter. Before baking the batter into the oven, you should make the crumb topping first. In a medium mixing bowl, combine together flour, sugar, butter and cinnamon and whisk them until crumbs form. Add nuts and sprinkle it on the top of the batter. Now you can bake the cake in the oven until the cake is cooked well. And after it’s cooked you are ready to serve your cake.
