My kids called this 'Smile Cake' because the streusel sort of looks like a smile.
Mis en Place:
Just a gratuitous picture of the 'Ez Man.'
Streusel and flour mixtures:
Cream the butter. This a small amount to mix and gave me a hard time with the hand beater.
Tuck the streusel good night under a fluffy blanket of yummy batter.
Fantastic. So delicious! Will definitely be making this again. The bottom 1/8 of the cake was a little underdone. I'm not sure how to know when this is done as the toothpick came out clean.
okay, 1. I love that your kids re-named the cake the smile cake! 2. I always enjoy the gratuitous photos of your kids. they are always so happy and cute! and 3. tucking the streusel good night under a fluffy blanket of batter is just about the awesomest way to describe this process. thanks for such a fun read!
ReplyDeleteCan i say that Jennifer read my mind and said everything i wanted to say already? LOL! :) I love that 'smile' that turned up on your cake! :D
ReplyDeleteAs always, I love your descriptions. I'm glad you enjoyed this cake for Shabbat.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if baking this cake at a lower temperature for a bit longer would take care of the underdone-ness. Glad you liked this cake.
