Great crumb cake recipe. It was simply delicious. Made for Cooking Tag Mania 2013. -
Everyone loved it! I didn't have milk but I had a little bit of heavy cream in the fidge, so I put a little heavy cream and water (more than the amount of milk in the recipe) and it worked great. I was surprised at how good it was with my substitution.

I'm a first year law student, and cooking provides me a way to relax and do something completely different from what I do all day. I took cooking classes in high school, and learned to cook a little bit at home, but since I didn't have to feed myself, I mainly just baked cookies and brownies and other fun things. Now, being in charge of cooking for a household for the first time in my life, I'm rediscovering my love of cooking and really enjoy trying new recipes as well as cooking my Mommy's signature dishes.
