Orange Crumb Cake With Cinnamon Crumb Topping
This is a tasty orange crumb cake with the added flavor of orange and a cinnamon crumb topping. A tasty cake for breakfast or snack, made in an 8-inch baking pan, perfect for a small family, or freeze part of it for another day.
INGREDIENTS:
* 1 cup all-purpose flour
* 1/2 cup granulated sugar
* 4 tablespoons butter, room temperature
* 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* dash salt
* 1 egg
* 1/2 cup orange juice
* 1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
PREPARATION:
Combine flour, sugar, and butter with pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles meal. Measure 1/2 cup of the crumb mixture and move to a separate cup or bowl; blend in the cinnamon then set aside. To the main crumb mixture add baking powder and salt; blend well. Beat egg with the orange juice until well blended; stir with orange zest into the crumb mixture just until dry ingredients are moistened. Pour batter into a greased and floured 8-inch square baking pan. Sprinkle reserved cinnamon-crumb mixture over the batter. Bake at 350° for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick or cake tester inserted in center comes out clean.
