If you’ve ever been to New York you may have come across a well know company named Entenmanns – whose bakery is based in Bay Shore on Long Island. Entenmann’s put the crumb cake on the map and a big slice is one of New Yorkers favorite ways to enjoy their morning cup of coffee (cauwfee) which is how it went from being called CRUMB cake to COFFEE cake.
The key to this coffee cake is in the topping. Be careful not to push the crumb topping down on to the cake, just use a spoon to gently sprinkle the topping on.
