There is nothing better on a lazy Sunday morning than a fresh pot of coffee, the Sunday paper, and a slice of this moist, full-flavored crumb-cake. Make it the night before and warm a slice in the microwave the following morning -Let your tastebuds take you to heaven! Ingredients:
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 cup light brown sugar |
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted |
1/4 cup sifted all-purpose flour |
6 tablespoons cold butter |
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
1 teaspoon ground allspice |
1 1/2 cups sugar |
1 cup dark raisin |
1/4 cup butter |
1/4 cup crisco butter flavor shortening |
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves |
1 cup chopped walnuts, toasted |
1 1/2 cups perked coffee |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 pinch salt |
1 teaspoon baking powder |

2. In a small mixing bowl, combine the Crumb Topping ingredients; taste and adjust the spices to your liking.
