Crumb Cake
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 c. brown sugar
- 2 c. flour
- 1/2 c. shortening (or butter)
- 1/2 t. salt
- 1 c. sour milk
- 1 t. soda
- 1 t. vanilla
Instructions
Mix first 4 ingredients together in crumb form. Save 1/2 c. to put on top. Add last 3 ingredients to remaining ingredients. Mix well and put in small, 8"-9" square baking pan (I spray it with PAM). Bake at 325 degrees F. for 45 minutes or until it springs back when touched in the middle or a toothpick comes out clean. Note: Half the flour could be replaced with whole wheat for a more wholesome cake. This recipe is so old that it uses lard instead of shortening or butter in the original recipe, but I've never used anything but unsalted butter.
