So who has the Jersey Shore's Best crumb cake? This is my opinion and I know many of you will agree. However, Lou Russo from the Jersey Shore Morning Show does not agree. It wasn't long ago he highlighted Mueller's Bakery in Bay Head. Yes, Mueller's makes a tremendous crumb cake but is it the best? In my opinion, Dearborn Market in Holmdel makes the Jersey Shore's best crumb cake. The cake is moist and the crumbs stay on top without falling apart. Most importantly, the powdered sugar sprinkled on top HITS DIFFERENT! If you haven't had a Dearborn Market crumb cake, you are missing out...

Follow Dearborn Market on Instagram & Facebook! They are located at 2170 Route 35 in Holmdel. You can also look for their crumb cakes at your local Shop Rite!

P.S. A cup of milk on the side might be necessary!
