How is it already March? We are now in the season of Lent, which means Easter is coming soon! While looking for brunch recipes, I found this Cinnamon Crumb Cake in one of my vintage cookbooks.
This cake would be delicious heated up in the morning or for an after-dinner treat. There isn’t a bad time of day to enjoy it.
You probably have all of the ingredients for Cinnamon Crumb Cake in your kitchen already so that you can make it without an extra trip to the store. While I love recipes with special ingredients, this recipe is great when you decide to bake something last minute or late at night.
