Yummy Yummy Vanilla Crumb Cake

I wish I had taken a picture before we devoured it!  Trust me it's fanfreakingtastic!  Here's the recipe!

¾ cups Granulated Sugar
¾ cups Light Brown Sugar, Firmly Packed
3-¼ cups Flour
½ teaspoons Nutmeg
1 cup Butter, cut into pieces
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
½ teaspoons Baking Soda
½ teaspoons Salt
2 whole Eggs
2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
1 cup Buttermilk

FOR THE GLAZE:

⅔ cups Confectioner's Sugar
1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
1 Tablespoon Milk, Or More As Needed



Preheat oven to 350.
In a large bowl, combine granulated sugar and the brown sugar.
Add the flour and nutmeg, whisking until well blended.
Cut butter into the flour mixture with a pastry blender or two butter knives until crumbly.
Remove and reserve 1 cup of the crumb mixture.
Stir into the remaining crumb mixture the baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, the vanilla, and the buttermilk together until well combined.
Pour the liquid over the dry ingredients and mix with a fork until just moistened.  (Batter will be super thick and super sticky!)
Spread batter gently into a greased and floured 9″x13″x2″ cake pan.
Sprinkle reserved crumb mixture evenly over the batter, pressing lightly into the batter.
Bake in oven for 30-35 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
In a small bowl, combine the glaze ingredients until smooth. If too thick, add just a few more drops of milk. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
