Vanilla Chocolate Crumb Cake, an easy Crumb Cake made with greek yogurt and the perfect crunchy topping. Dessert, Snack or why not Breakfast Cake!

I hope everyone that celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday had a wonderful day and that there wasn’t too much Leftover Turkey! I didn’t eat turkey but I did eat an amazing Vanilla Chocolate Crumb Cake.

And if you ate too much (but who does that on Thanksgiving?) you can always eat Soup or a little Lighter today. But make sure you make room for this delicious Vanilla Chocolate Crumb cake.

One of the best,  I and yes the three  (sad face, I will make it when I see you :)) other two members of the family have ever eaten.

The Nutella queen said that and it didn’t even have Nutella in it! Although she does say her favourite will always be the Italian Nutella Crumb Cake.

I actually got the idea for this recipe from Cooks Illustrated but it was a muffin recipe with a plain vanilla crumb topping. I decided to change it up a bit, by adding a cocoa topping, I used greek yogurt and I made it into a cake instead. In my opinion can’t get much better than a yummy Crumb Cake.

 I have made this cake twice this week already, needless to say it is one of those dunkers for the Italian in his morning café latte and this Vanilla Chocolate Crumb Cake is my perfect accompaniment to a hot cup of coffee or tea.

 This is actually a smaller cake, I used a 7 x 3 inch round spring form cake pan. You really do need a higher pan just to hold all that yummy crumb topping.

As my youngest daughter said “it’s the best part”. Vanilla Chocolate Crumb Cake actually becomes a two layer cake, vanilla cake on the bottom and buttery chocolate crumbs on top. Watch for little hands stealing all the crumbs! Enjoy!

            Hi Diane, thanks so much, I would start checking at the 15-20 minute mark. They should be done around that time. Hope that helps. Let me know how they turn out.
