Entenmann's excels at all things-crumb topped, from donuts and pies to their line of crumb cakes. And if you've ever yearned to learn the secrets of the Entenmann's crumb, the Entenmann's Big Book of Baking has plenty of recipes to set you on the right, crumbly path.
This Blueberry Crumb Cake is a cinnamon-spiked sour cream coffee cake run through with fresh blueberries and lemon zest and topped, of course, with that one and only crumb. It's moist and tender just like its supermarket counterpart, full of comfortingly familiar flavors and most of all, crowned with plenty of crumb.
