Cinnamon Crumb Cake

Crunchy crumbs straight out of the oven with tender fluffy cake on the bottom, but, wait!  You’ll want to wait about an hour to eat this cake.  It was a pleasure to eat warm with the light, flaky crumbs melting under my bite.  Sweet cinnamon cake and a good cup of coffee, that’s a match made in heaven.
