This cake is ready to eat straight from the package. For a slightly warmer experience, you can gently warm a slice in a microwave for a few seconds or in a low oven. It is best served at room temperature to appreciate the texture of the crumb topping. It can be enjoyed on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream. It is also delicious crumbled over ice cream.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike some other crumb cakes, this New York style version emphasizes a thick, abundant layer of streusel topping. The cake itself is typically denser and less sweet than a sponge cake, allowing the rich cinnamon and butter flavors of the crumb to stand out.

How to keep the rest
Store any remaining cake in an airtight container at room temperature. It is best consumed within a few days to maintain its freshness and the crispness of the crumb topping. Avoid direct sunlight or excessive heat.
