For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of softened butter in the cake batter. Simply melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Let it cool slightly before adding to the batter. Feel free to experiment with different spices in the crumb topping, such as nutmeg, cardamom, or ginger. Store leftover crumb cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
