Candie'S Bakery-Style Crumb Coffee Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 3/4 cups flour
1 3/4 cups sugar
1/4 lb butter (softened)
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1/2 - 2/3 cup milk
Topping
1/4 lb butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 pinch salt
confectioners' sugar (for dusting)

Preparation

Mix together in a large bowl flour, sugar, baking powder, salt; and set aside 2 cups of this mixture for the topping.
Add butter, eggs and milk and mix well.
Grease and flour a 13-inch rectangle baking pan.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
For Topping: Take the 2 cups of reserved flour mixture and add to the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt.
Mix together with your fingers until blended and lumps begin to form when you squeeze the mixture making small pea-sized crumbs.
(make them to your liking).
We love HUGE crumbs on ours, so I squeeze handfuls of the mixture and let the big pieces drop off onto the cake batter and cover the surface with smaller ones as I empty the bowl.
Cover the entire cake with crumbly mixture.
Bake for 30 minutes.
When cooled, dust with confectioner's sugar.
