Before my mom died, she used to make THE BEST coffee cake. Whatever you want to call it, crumb cake, cinnamon cake, but she called it coffee cake. The main cake was very similar to this recipe Quick Coffee Cake Recipe - Allrecipes.com but wiith cinnamon in the cake as well.
The topping is what I'm having trouble with. I can't find it ANYWHERE online. Not sure what it's called, but it was a very similar texture (not taste) to the stuff on a Honeybaked Ham or a harder version of the glaze on a glazed donut. It was NOT drizzled on, it was solid, like a birthday cake. I know it contained cinnamon, sugar and brown sugar. Very crunchy. I know she DID NOT use a blow torch, like HBH does. It tasted like the rest of the cake, cinnamony and sugary. Somewhere between a glazed donut topping and toffee. Nowhere near as soft as the donut, nowhere near the toughness of toffee. Like I said, sorta feels like HBH topping, but in a coffee cake flavor.
Can anyone help me out here?
