Homemade Double Crumb Cake

[musesfool]

I've had this Homemade Double Crumb Cake on my list of things to bake for a while now, because it does the ingenious thing of making the cake smaller than a 9x13" sized coffee cake, while keeping the amount of crumb topping the same, so the ratio of crumb to cake is much higher.

I made it as written (I used real buttermilk, because I usually have some on hand) and it is really easy - I didn't even need to use the mixer - and it's delicious. I would recommend it if you like a little less cake and a lot more crumb in your crumb cake.

Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings

It's been chilly lately so last Sunday I made the chicken and dumplings recipe that I've had in the 'to try' folder for ages. I haven't had chicken and dumplings for years. And unlike my childhood, it's not really necessary to wait until you have an old hen to butcher and eat.

As written,the recipe turned out very bland. When I heated up leftovers I added some chicken bouillon with a small amount of water which fixed it. So I assume if you add bouillon with the water or use chicken broth when you cook the chicken and vegetables it will be much better.
