Turn A Boxed Cake Into A Delicious Crumb Cake!

This is one of the best crumb cake recipes I've ever tried. Very moist and loaded with tons of buttery crumbs. It's so easy and makes a nice size cake and is a real crowd pleaser!





  • 1 package yellow cake mix
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 1/3 cups packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups butter
  • 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar


DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 12x18 pan.

Mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, butter, and flour together in a large bowl until the mixture forms medium crumbs. Set Aside.

Beat the yellow cake mix, water, eggs, and 1/2 cup softened butter together with an electric mixer until thoroughly blended. Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan.

Bake for 15 to 17 minutes. Center will be slightly gooey. Remove the cake from the oven, and press about 3/4 of the crumb topping onto the top of the almost-baked cake. Sprinkle the remaining crumb topping onto the cake. 

Return the cake to the oven, and bake an additional 10 to 12 minutes, until the crumb topping is firm and the cake is cooked all the way through.

Let the cake cool to room temperature, and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
