Yogurt Streusel Cake

Yogurt Streusel Cake.

Happy Valentine's Day.

I've made a plan to make this cake on Valentine's Day. Now I am delighted to present my Yogurt Streusel Cake and am so glad that this cake turn out pretty well.

Cake with the Streusel topping is my first attempt. I think the Streusel Topping is the best of the whole cake. Streusel is 'A crumblike topping for coffee cakes and rich breads, consisting of flour, sugar, butter, cinnamon, and sometimes chopped nutmeats.'

This Streusel topping consisting of chopped walnuts, plain flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and olive oil. It is a very convincing topping. We all could not resist the Streusel topping, particularly my daughter who has been trying to scratch the topping.

Streusel with walnuts to melt any resistance. It is so good for you as walnuts are a great plant source of omega-3 fats, which reduce the risk of heart disease.

Try it out and tell me know how much you love the topping.
