OLD FASHION CRUMB CAKE

THIS IS ONE OF MY MOST FAVORITE COMFORT FOOD IN THE WHOLE WORLD, JUST GIVE ME A POT OF DELICIOUS COFFEE AND A BIG SLICE OF THIS WONDERFUL, TASTY AND DELICIOUS CRUMB CAKE. THERE IS NOT ALOT OF CAKE IN THIS RECIPE, BUT THERE ARE LOTS AND LOTS OF CRUMBS, AS THE NAME SAYS "CRUMB" CAKE. THE MORE CRUMBS ON THIS CAKE THE BETTER.

Instructions



1. IN A LARGE BOWL, SIFT TOGETHER THE FLOUR, SUGAR, BAKING POWDER AND SALT. SET ASIDE
   
2. IN ANOTHER BOWL, WHISK TOGETHER THE EGG, MILK, OIL AND VANILLA.
   
3. ADD THE LIQUID INGREDIENTS TO THE DRY INGREDIENT BOWL. USING A RUBBER SPATULA, MIX ALL INGREDIENTS TILL BLENDED. "DO NOT OVER MIX THE BATTER".
   
4. SPRAY AND FLOUR A 9 X 13" BAKING PAN. POUR BATTER INTO PAN AND SPREAD OUT EVENLY. "IMPORTANT" ( BATTER WILL LOOK LIKE THERE ISN'T ENOUGH TO SPREAD, DON'T WORRY, IT WILL. TAKE A METAL SPATULA OR THE RUBBER SPATULA AND RUN IT UNDER HOT WATER, THEN SPREAD THE BATTER AS MUCH AS YOU CAN AND JUST REPEAT DOING THIS UNTIL YOU HAVE IT TOTALLY SPREAD OUT AND EVEN. REMEMBER, IT'S A CRUMB CAKE, ONCE IT IS BAKED, THE CAKE BASE WILL BE BETWEEN A 1/4 TO 1/2" THICK). SET ASIDE.
