My to bake list, a collection of ideas off the Internet, is growing out of control. In addition, I have 3 new, now months old, cookbooks which I haven't made a single recipe out of yet. It was clearly a sign that I was neglecting my oven. So this week, I did two things. One, I added my to bake list here to my blog to help move things along. Two, I made a crumb cake out of the Baked Explorations cookbook which I received months ago for my birthday.
What I learned is that crumb cake is not interchangeable with coffee cake in New York. A crumb cake does not contain cinnamon swirls nor nuts of any kind. Those elements were not missed at all in this crumb cake. I did reduce the "crumb" topping by half but the cake and the crumb topping still balanced each other out perfectly.
