The cake is so moist and delectable that you can't resist to one slice. You will also not be able to get enough of the crispy but soft crumb topping!

It's very simple to make and comes together quickly. Similar to my other Tea cake, this cake goes perfectly with a cup of tea or coffee for breakfast or as an after dinner dessert. This crumb cake is loaded with extra crumb topping. If you are just like me want more n more crumb topping then you will love this cake! 

I decided to make a delicious brown sugar cinnamon flavoured plain crumb cake that just as irresistible as my Apple crumble Cake version. The ingredients in the cake and crumb topping are mostly the same, which is extra convenient except the eggs. Instead of eggs I have used plain curd or yogurt.

This simple yet perfect crumb cake is best for serving at house party or any occasions. Just serve it warm with a scoop of ice-cream and your delicious dessert is ready to serve.
