Ingredients

For the crumb topping:

Instructions

  • Grease top of cupcake pans to make it easy to remove cupcakes that may have overflowed when baking.
  • Cream butter and sugar until fluffy.
  • Beat in eggs, one at a time and mix well.
  • Add 3 cups of the flour and the baking powder together. Sift into a bowl, set aside.
  • Mix vanilla and milk together in a small bowl, set aside.
  • Alternate adding the wet and dry ingredients to batter, adding a little bit of each one at a time until throughly mixed.

To Make Crumb Topping:

  • Add the dry topping ingredients together. If the butter and shortening are not room temp, heat them in the microwave for a few seconds to soften, then add to the dry topping ingredients.
  • Mix well with fingers until you get a sandy consistency. Set aside.
  • Spoon batter into cupcake liners.
  • Sprinkle topping over each cupcake.

Optional: Use the end of a spoon to make holes in each cupcake so that some of the topping will get mixed into the cupcake and not only on the top.

  • Bake at 350 degrees for 15 mins. Check for doneness by sticking a toothpick in the center. If necessary bake 5 minutes more.
  • Do not over bake. These cupcakes taste better when they are moist and the topping is a little bit crunchy.
  • Let cool.
