Eat this: Swedish crumb loaf from Federhofer’s Bakery

The New York Times, a pot of coffee and the Swedish crumb loaf from Federhofer’s Bakery make for an exceptional Sunday morning. One slice leads to another, then waistline consciousness sets in. You compromise with just a sliver – or two, then three. How is it possible that you just consumed half the loaf? Almond paste gives this scrumptious cake the perfect hint of apple flavor, while the baked-in topping of pastry crumbs and dusting of confectioner’s sugar remind us just how addicted we are to the sweet things in life.
