Pecan Crumb Topping (Cherry Coffee Cake)

A topping forked into its own recipe per the archive's rule that accompanying components (glazes, marinades, rubs, sauces, etc.) are kept as standalone recipes. It also remains inline in CHERRY COFFEE CAKE, where it is originally used.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup (60 ml) all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) sugar
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) chopped pecans
• 1 teaspoon (5 ml) ground cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons (45 ml) Butter

Method

1. Stir together 1/4 cup (60 ml) flour, 1/4 cup (60 ml) sugar, the pecans, and the cinnamon in a medium bowl. Cut in 3 tablespoons (45 ml) butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Sprinkle over the batter. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the topping is dark golden brown.
