If you find that the crumb topping is getting too soft, I think your solution for refrigerating it prior to using it would be the perfect thing to try!

I crack 3 eggs into a measuring cup and beat them lightly with a fork, and then I pour out half of the volume.

Hi,

I love this coffeecake so much! I baked it several times already. But, these last couple times, the crumb topping were not crumbly like yours, it was more like too soft; so, it melted together with the batter during baking. I don’t know why.
Should I refrigerate the crumb topping after making it? (so it won’t turn too soft), or should I reduce the amount of butter? (like1 stick of butter, instead of 3/4 cups?)

Thank you for the info and help !

Sri

Hi Michelle,

Thanks for your reply. The crumbs sank into the cake batter adding a delicious buttery layer. Everyone who tasted the cake loved it! I had envisioned a New York-style crumb topping and that’s where my concern was, because the topping melted together. It tasted delicious, just didn’t look crumb-topped as I expected.

I enjoy your site; thanks for all the recipes and tips!

Hi Karen, The recipe amount is correct with the 3/4 cup of butter. How did this end up turning out for you?

Hi, I have this cake baking now in the oven. The topping crumbs are all melting together and looking very buttery/watery. Might there be too much butter in the listing of crumb topping ingredients? Perhaps it should be 3/4 of a stick of butter, not 3/4 cup?

I am waiting to see how it comes out in a half hour, but there is a pool of butter in the center of the cake and I’m not very optimistic. Please let me know if you’ve run into this yourself and what changes you made.

Thanks very much!
Karen

This is a MUST for anyone loving chocolate/crumb cake/deliciousness!
I coulkd not stop eating it. The streusel topping forms this amazing “crust” on the top of the cake…my mouth is watering just talking about it.

Buttermilk choc chip crumb cake:
The directions don’t mention anything about sprinkling 1/2 the chips on top of batter. I went back twice to look at the recipe & picture and figured that’s what you did, but would be helpful to include it in the instructions.
It’s baking now…hope it’s DELISH!

I made this cake last weekend after your description of it tasting like a donut! Unfortunately for me it didn’t. And I mistakenly put the chocolate chips on top of the batter – I think I would’ve enjoyed the top part more if I hadn’t because the chocolate melted in with everything.

This bread recipe looks delicious and moist. I’m always looking for something to go with a cup of hot tea.

Just printed this and can’t wait to try it, especially after two pretty bad Martha Stewart dessert recipes I’ve made in the past week.

This looks fantastic! I love using buttermilk in recipes too – makes everything so much creamier! I love it in mashed potatoes as well.
