My Aunt Lillian gave me a small book of her favorite recipes when I got married. All were handwritten on 3x5 note cards. I cherish these recipes. Her Italian Crème Cake is one of my favorites! To make a lighter version, use non-fat cream cheese and Land O Lakes light butter.

Tips:

  • Use the right pan: A 9x13 inch baking pan is the best size for this cake. If you use a smaller or larger pan, the cake will not bake evenly.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use fresh fruit: Fresh fruit will give the cake the best flavor. If you use frozen fruit, thaw it completely before adding it to the batter.
  • Don't overbake the cake: The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If you overbake the cake, it will be dry.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop and the cake to set.

Conclusion:

Aunt Lillian's Crumb Cake is a delicious and easy-to-make cake that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and tender crumb and sweet and tangy topping, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give Aunt Lillian's Crumb Cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
