preview for Make The Holidays A Piece Of Cake With Our Rum Crumb Cake

Coffee cake meets rum cake in this decadent homemade crumb cake. Dark rum goes into both the cake and the glaze for a warm, complex flavor that goes beyond your classic coffee cake. There are a few components to this recipe, but each one is simple to make—nothing overcomplicated here. The result is a rich and tender cake with a perfectly crunchy topping, made to be served for weekend brunch, on Christmas morning with coffee, or after dinner with a hot toddy. Or, let’s face it, eaten in the kitchen at midnight as the ultimate late-night treat.

Tip: If you prefer to not use rum in the glaze, you can swap it out for milk. I’d recommend adding a little bit of vanilla to it as well for some extra flavor.

If you have any leftovers, this crumb cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
