We at The Home Bakers (THB) are baking again this week, the 3rd cake chosen from the book, Coffee Cakes by Lou Seibert Pappas. Blueberry Streusel Cake. One word, Yum! Besides the cake itself giving a very moist and lovely texture, i really like the streusel toppings. The original recipe uses walnuts but i just had very little walnuts left, so i added in some almond nuts too, now i'm not saying that because i added both of these nuts that made it delicious, it's actually the crunchiness of the sugar and nuts altogether that is so nice and made the cake tasted even more better. I hope my picture of the streusels justifies what i claimed. I did experienced making streusel that didnt look like streusel, they looked flat and not crunchy. But this time while rubbing them, i felt that i will get it right. I usually put my cake into the fridge on the 2nd day after baking, the streusel stays just as crunchy even after 2 days in the fridge, the cake stays just as moist and tasty!
I made half of the original recipe in a small loaf tin, 7"x3.5"x2.5" plus a lonely muffin. As i've made some changes of using more cake flour to whole wheat flour and also more white sugar to brown sugar, i shall put my list here. For full recipe and directions, you can refer to Chaya's blog and to see the rest of the members who did this, visit here

| yummy streusel |

| Now , there's something wrong here. Anyone noticed? ...how am i supposed to remove the cake?? there's streusels toppings and i totally forgot about lining to above the edges of the tin! i cant flip the cake over so i have to use a knife here and ruthlessly stab and cut on one end of the cake, take that poor piece out and use my hand to slide under the bottom lining and lift it up! |

| phew!..finally out! |

Muahahaha, I am trying to imagine you ruthlessly taking out the cake. Looks very "hoong bou".
ReplyDeleteEh, this cake sounds really good hoh, the streusel that I've made before don't stay crispy for long.
wow, nice streusel topping u made, Lena!
ReplyDeletethe castor sugar lightened the color, pretty indeed!
oh i can see how lonely that 1 muffin is hahaha...

Lovely cake, Lena! Yes, we love the streusel too, my daughter who usually does not like nuts, really love the streusel! I have some tips about how to remove cakes with streusel, check it out from my post, since you use a rectangular loaf tin to bake your cake, and if you do not have a rectangular plate, you may use the back of a small cookie pan.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to next bake, I love pears in cakes! :)
Lena it is a lovely cake...send the lonely muffin to me.

ReplyDeleteYour adjustment to this recipe makes the cake very generous with its topping.
ReplyDeleteLOL - your lonely muffin! It looks really lonely to me.
Sorry that I can't make it for this bake and will be baking for the next THB bake.
Lovely clicks lena. Love the generous streusal topping :D. Looking at all these cakes is making me miss my cake :(. I want some and I have none left.

ReplyDeleteAgain, how come no coffee in the ingredient (I'm so concerned about coffee, eh) and it's called ...coffee cake?
I like the lonely muffin ... I volunteer to keep it company ... not guaranteeing its safety from being devoured tho :)
ReplyDeletewendy: hoong bo also got to do it..if not for photography purpose, i would just cut it straight from the tin!
ReplyDeletealice: yeah, my streusels look a little diff cos i used all castor sugar. you wont regret baking this!
