VELVET CRUMB CAKE

This old recipe was found in my mother's recipe box. It was written on a sheet of paper from an old fashion writing tablet and indicates it is from Edith. Since my mother had an Aunt named Edith, I assume this recipe was from her.

1 1/3 cups baking mix such as Bisquick
3/4 cup sugar
3 tbsps shortening
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg
3/4 cup milk

Mix all ingredients together and bake in a 350 degree oven for 35 to 40 minutes. Makes a small cake so use an 8-inch square pan, greased and floured.

Broiled Topping for Crumb Cake:
3 tbsp softened butter
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp milk or cream
1/2 cup coconut
1/4 cup chopped nuts

Mix altogether and spread on warm cake. Put under broiler until brown; approximately three minutes.
