New Jersey crumb cake has evolved into a ratio of at least half, if not more, moist crumb topping to cake. Find our recipe and get baking.
Is there a marked difference between New Jersey–style crumb cake and New York–style crumb cake? Not really. But as someone from the Garden State, I’ll always think of this style of cake as the former. “Crumb cake” is a moist vanilla cake topped with a thick layer of cinnamon-scented brown sugar streusel. Unlike “coffee cake,” crumb cake is always baked in a rectangular pan—never a round or Bundt pan—and does not include any swirl or fruit filling.
To properly nail the soft, almost cookie-like texture of the crumb topping , the mixture requires quite a bit of butter and dark brown sugar. Though many New Jersey bakeries still make the cake layer from a yeasted dough, I prefer the versions that rely on a simple batter without any proofing time. My ideal crumb cake base is a thick sour cream and vegetable oil batter that bakes off moist and tender, but not as plush as buttery pound cake, ensuring the topping remains the star of the show.
