The fourteenth bake for The Home Bakers, hosted by Joyce from Kitchen Flavours, baking with a group of members from the book "Coffee Cakes" by Lou Seibert Pappas
Perfect with a cuppa! Not only me, but the whole family enjoyed it too :)
I love the texture of this cake, fine and moist, really delicious
I baked half recipe but I used full recipe streusel, and I sprinkled all in between the cake, I didn't add on top, hence the "thick ribbon" LOL
I didn't include cinnamon powder and almond extract since my family doesn't fancy them
For me myself, I love cinnamon but I dislike almond extract
I too love the idea of mixing in chopped nuts in the streusel, but my kids dislike nuts for now, so I replaced it with semi sweet chocolate chips and grated cheddar cheese
I didn't mix in the cheese in the streusel, though. Instead, I sprinkled on top of it before pouring the remaining batter
Also, I replaced sour cream with low fat plain yoghurt

Hi Alice,
ReplyDeleteI'm happy that your family enjoyed this cake... Mine is a disappointment because I used sour cream and the texture came out be dry and crusty :(

Hi Alice,
ReplyDeleteYour cake looks really moist with fine soft texture. My daughter does not like almond extract too, but I like it. So sometimes I omit it too.
I'm so glad that you've managed to bake this lovely cake. A good idea with the cheddar cheese!
Your cake's perfect!
ReplyDeleteWhat a delicious looking cake!
ReplyDeleteHi Alice ,very nice cake, the texture look so moist. Great to go with coffee.
ReplyDeleteBest regards.
Hi Alice,
ReplyDeleteYou cake looks amazing, I love how you made in the 'deer back' tin (we call that the deer back tin here in Austria) :)
What an interesting combination sprinkling grated cheddar cheese in the streusel, I will have to give that a try next time!
How was the taste? a bit of a sweet and salty mix??
