I should totally be studying for a midterm right now, but all I want to do is bake… hence the reason I’m updating during 5th week. Crumb cake is such a simple cake to make, and I’m sure everyone has the ingredients to make this in their cupboard at home. I have a weakness for any crumb topping, and this one surely didn’t disappoint me. The cake was nice and moist, while the crumb topping was plentiful.. just the way crumb cake should be. This reminded me of Starbucks’ coffee cake, just lacking a bit of flavor. Next time, I’ll kick up the amount of vanilla in the recipe to make up for it.

Side note: I actually used my silicone pan to bake this (*GASP!* I know, right?) because I halved the recipe and needed a smaller pan. The only pan that I had small enough was a silicone one (I usually HATE baking with silicone pans), but it surprisingly worked out okay in the end! Maybe I don’t hate silicone bakeware as much as I thought I did…
