{cake on friday} Patriarch's Week One

Crumb Cake, originally uploaded by teenytinyturkey.

My Bible study group group met for the first session of our Patriarchs study this Monday. Ooh - it looks like this is going to be a good one! I love these times of fellowship and feasting on the Word. Of course, that's not all we feast on... Every week, we have some scrumptiousness that our hostess has baked. This week, we had a crumb cake. Oh. So. Good.

Crumb Cake
2 cup light brown sugar
2 cup flour
1 cup butter
1 cup sour cream or buttermilk
1 beaten egg
1 cup raisins
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. ground cloves
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1 scant tsp. baking soda

Mix together to crumb texture first 3 ingredients, saving about 1/3 for topping. Add baking soda to sour cream or buttermilk and combine with rest of ingredients. Add these to the above crumb mixture. Pour into greased, floured 7 x 9-inch cake pan. Spread over it the 1/3 amount of crumb mixture set aside for topping. Bake at 180° C for 45 to 55 minutes.
