We are going to brunch this coming Sunday with friends and I tend to think of crumb cakes as a brunch dish, like a coffee cake. But when you think about it, really a coffee cake or crumb cake was made to be served with coffee mid-morning or mid-afternoon, sort of like taking tea.  This recipe will give you a nice sized crumb cake to share with a large group of friends the next time you host a bridge party with coffee. Or not, maybe something else. Or brunch after all that. :-)

Crumb Cake

2 cups flour

2 cups granulated sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 cup butter

2 eggs

1 cup milk

Sprinkle on nutmeg

Mix first 4 ingredients, then keep 1/2 cup of crumbs to put on top. Put in eggs & milk, mix well. Pour into 13×9 pan. Put crumbs on top and sprinkle on nutmeg. Bake at 350 for about 25-30 minutes.
