Mixed Nuts Streusel Cake – Dee's Divine Delights

Hi, I’m back with another fabulous recipe from our Bake Along group. For last week, Subhashini chose an Almond Streusel Cake adapted from one of Martha Stewart’s recipes. Wikipedia describes Streusel as “a crumbly topping of flour, butter, and sugar that is baked on top of muffins, breads, pies and cakes“. It is a wonderful addition to cakes and takes the taste and texture to a whole new level.

Although Subhashini has made the streusel with just almonds, I used a mix of Walnuts, Almonds and Pistachios. Walnuts are my most favourite ever, I can eat them all day So i had to include them..

The cake is baked in a Bundt pan and layered with the Streusel in between and at the top (which will be the finished cake’s bottom). If you are confused with this description please head on over to Fondbites website for the step by step recipe with pics ;;)

The crunch of the Streusel pairs so well with the soft and moist cake. Its indescribable. You have to try it to experience it. Yumm yumm yumm..

You can use the glaze for added flavor. I decided to skip it, because i really loved the taste of the streusel and wanted to have the cake as is. By the looks of it, I think I may end up using a lot of this Streusel in the future!! It’s so crunchy and perfect!

My bundt pan was not enought for the amount of batter that came out of this recipe, so i made a mini 5-inch cake with the rest of the batter. But i had enough Streusel only for the middle layer and none for the topping. So i just stuck a few choco chips on the top and baked it. Looked so pretty!
