-
⅔cupwater
-
3eggs
-
½cupbutter, softened
-
1 ⅓cupspacked brown sugar
-
1tablespoonground cinnamon, or to taste
-
1tablespoonvanilla extract

1 ½cupsbutter

4 ½cupsall-purpose flour

Cooking Directions
-
Gather all ingredients.
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12×18-inch jellyroll pan.
-
Beat the yellow cake mix, water, eggs, and 1/2 cup softened butter together with an electric mixer in a mixing bowl until thoroughly blended, about 2 minutes on medium speed. Pour the cake batter into the prepared jellyroll pan.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until the edges of the cake are light brown but the middle of the cake is still slightly gooey, 15 to 17 minutes.
-
While the cake is baking, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, butter, and flour together in a large bowl until the mixture forms medium crumbs.
-
Remove the cake from the oven, and press about 3/4 of the crumb topping onto the top of the almost-baked cake. Reserve the remaining topping.
-
Return the cake to the oven, and bake an additional 10 to 12 minutes, until the crumb topping is firm and the cake is cooked all the way through.
-
Remove the cake from the oven, and sprinkle with the remaining crumb topping. Let the cake cool to room temperature, and sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar.
Cook’s Notes
Overall, I found that margarine makes better crumbs – and there will be A LOT of crumb topping (just cut amounts back if it’s too much).
For the image, I couldn’t find my jellyroll pan so I used a 13×9 cake pan. I increased the first cooking time from 15 to 17 minutes to 25 to 27 minutes, which worked fine.
I don’t know why my aunt changed the oven temperature as the cake mixes she used calls for 375. I just follow her directions.
