Heath Bar Marmalade Crumb Cake


     This delightful little coffee cake will surprise you with bursts of orange marmalade and crunchy chocolate toffee bits.  Make it in your 8 inch oven and be sure to line it with parchment paper for easier removal.  This was the first time I used the parchment strips and they worked quite well.  Make sure you oil or spray your oven well and be generous with the marmalade, you'll love the surprising blasts of sweet orange rind floating throughout this light and airy cake.  It was ready in 30 minutes, I rotated it halfway through and baked it with 8 coals in a ring around the bottom and 14 coals on top.  From Cooking Light Annual Recipes 2000.

Heath Bar Marmalade Crumb Cake

  1. Not to try to 1 up you, but our stories are about the same. I found them 25 years ago, but I am much older than you. I have been a member of I.D.O.S, now for over 20 years. I am the proud owner of 2000 cookbooks.Nuts ha. LOL. I was living in Salt Lake and ran into the father of dutch oven cooking " Dick Stucki" and we became best of friends. He even marred Kat and I.Keep it up. I love your blog.
