I'm posting this here because there's more activity than on the baking
newsgroup. Hope you don't mind. Last weekend I baked a crumb cake from
a recipe I got from an old Family Circle baking book. It was a sweet
yeast dough with a crumb topping. The dough was very tasty and the
topping (butter, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg) was very good. The
cake was not too sweet which I like and it was very good when I first
took it out of the oven but within a couple of hours it was dry. There
were 4 eggs and 3/4 cup of shortening in the dough so it wasn't that
the cake itself was dry. I've never had this happen before. Has anyone
else had this happen? Anything I can do about it?
Thanks.
