On Easter I served a brunch where most of the recipes came from a cooking brunch class I took several months ago. The hit of the brunch was this recipe for :

New York Crumb Cake (tastes like Starbucks pastry)

2 Tbls. oil
4 cups flour
1/2 C sugar
21/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 large egg
1/2 C milk
2 tsp. vanilla
1 c. packed light-brown sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 C unsalted butter, melted and cooled (I used one of each as I didn't have enough unsalted)
Confectioners sugar for dusting

Heat oven to 350 with rack in middle. Lightly brush 9 by 13 baking pan with oil, dust with flour, tap to remove excess. In medium bowl sift together 1-1/2 C flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. In second bowl, whisk egg, milk, oil, and vanilla. Fold dry ingredients into egg mixture.

Spread batter into pan and set aside. (use hands to pat down if spoon does not do the trick) Combine remaining 2-1/2 C flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Pour butter mixture over and toss with spatula until laege crumbs form. Sprinke over batter.

Bake rotating pan after 10 minutes. Continue baking until tester comes out clean. Maybe 10 more minutes
Cool. Dust with powdered sugar and cut. Yum!

At this same brunch, someone spilled red wine on my tablecloth. I use the $1.00 Awesome cleaner from the Dollar Tree and it comes out like a charm. Works on all stains and the price is right.
