MY AUNT LILLIAN made her fabulous crumb cake every weekend when we came to visit. She created this recipe back in the '40s. Knowing my father loved it, she shared the recipe with my mother, who passed it on to me. I serve it as a coffee cake for Sunday brunch or for dessert. -Rose Gearheard, Phoenix, Oregon Ingredients:
