JEWISH CRUMB CAKE



JEWISH CRUMB CAKE image

Yield 1 cake

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 stick of unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/4 pint sour cream
1.5 cup sifted flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 bag chocolate chips
Topping
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 bag chocolate chips

Steps:

  • 1. Cream butter and sugar. 2. Blend in eggs. 3. Blend in sour cream. 4. Stir in flour and baking soda. 5. Add chocolate chips to batter. 6. Pour half of batter into square (8x8) baking dish. 7. Prepare topping. Put half of topping on batter in pan and stir around. Put in remaining batter and rest of topping and swirl with knife. 8. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes.

Tips:

  • Prep Your Ingredients: Before you start baking, make sure all your ingredients are measured and prepped. This will help the baking process go smoothly.
  • Room Temperature Ingredients: For most baking recipes, it's best to use room temperature ingredients. This allows them to blend together more easily and evenly.
  • Creaming Butter and Sugar: When creaming butter and sugar together, make sure you do it until the mixture is light and fluffy. This helps to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender cake.
  • Fold In Dry Ingredients: When adding dry ingredients to the batter, be sure to fold them in gently. Over-mixing can result in a tough and dense cake.
  • Baking Temperature: Pay attention to the baking temperature and time specified in the recipe. Different cakes require different temperatures and baking times.
  • Don't Overbake: To prevent a dry cake, check the doneness a few minutes before the recommended baking time. Insert a toothpick or skewer into the center; if it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Cool the Cake: After baking, allow the cake to cool completely before frosting or serving. This helps the cake to set properly and makes it easier to handle.
