Night Before Christmas Crumb Cake

What a perfect treat to enjoy Christmas morning. Thanks Cindy Morgan!

Ingredients:
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter
2 beaten eggs
1/2 cup warm milk
1 pkg yeast (2 teaspoons bulk yeast) dissolved in 3 tablespoons warm water
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Topping:
2/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
4 tablespoons melted butter or margarine
1/2 cup nuts or maraschino cherries, candied red or green cherries

Directions:
  • Cream together sugar and butter.
  • To that mixture add eggs, milk, 1 package of yeast (2 tablespoons bulk yeast) dissolved in 3 tablespoons of warm water, flour, salt and vanilla.
  • Beat all of these ingredients together.
  • Set aside the dough and let it rise until it doubles in size.
  • When the dough has risen to double the size (this may take about 2 hours) put it in a 9x13" greased pan and spread with topping
  • Topping - combine sugar, cinnamon, melted butter and nuts (you can use maraschino cherries or candied red and green cherries if you don't like nuts)
  • Place coffee cake in a cold oven and leave it in there overnight to rise.
  • The next morning turn oven to 350 degrees and bake for 1/2 hour.
  • Take out and serve warm.
  • This makes one large coffee cake or put dough in two round pans instead for one coffee cake to share!
