I baked this cake for my sister’s birthday last week. In our family we prefer our cake plain without any type of frosting and this cake is just great for us. Just a light drizzle of lemony glaze really brightens up the flavor of this cake.Ingredients:
3/4 cup (1 1/2 stick) of butter
1 cup of sugar
2 1/2 cup of flour
2 tsp of baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup plain yogurt
5 eggs
1 tsp of vanilla
Streusel
1/4 cup of brown sugar
1 cup of chopped walnuts
3 tbsp of butter
½ cup of flour
½ tsp salt
1 tsp of cinnamon powder
Glaze
1 cup of powder sugar
3 tbsp lemon juice
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a tube pan. Mix all the streusel ingredients together and set it aside.2. Sift flour, baking powder and salt into medium bowl and set it aside. Using electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until fluffy and creamy.
3. Beat in eggs 1 at a time. Until well combined. Mix in vanilla. Mix dry ingredients and yogurt alternately into butter mixture in 3 additions. Mix well.
4. Pour 1/2 of batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle with half of streusel mixture. Pour the balance batter on top of the streusel. Sprinkle the balance of the streusel on top of the cake.
5. Bake the cake until golden brown or tester inserted at the center comes out clean. It will take about an 1 hour. Cool cake in pan. To remove the cake from pan.
6. Whisk powdered sugar and lemon juice together until smooth. Drizzle over the cake.

I am a cake person--my family frosting people. But that sugary glaze might satiate them.

She is happy with the cake you made for her...a cake made of love with or without frosting is sweet enough! Nice one and thanks for sharing with us the recipe :))
Now that is one great looking cake. Absolutely perfect.
Loved it! Looks delicious! I like cake without frosting too. :)
That's a beautiful cake, Gert. I too prefer plain cake and will attempt this when I am next in the mood to use the oven. :)
Happy 4th of July!
i just want to let u know, ur blog is really really inspiring. dengan gambar and recipes, huh, tangan yang rarely masak are all itchy to try out those recipes posted here ;)
Hi! The cake looks yummy and relatively easy to bake. May I know what was the baking pan sized you used?
Kath, thank you. How are you doing? Streusel(a German word meaning "something scattered or sprinkled) is a crumbly, crunchy dessert topping that's very common here.
3E, thank you.
Emile, happy baking and hope you like this cake?
Angie, sorry about the problem. Hope everything is ok now. Yea, my sister love this cake :)
Elin, she is always happy to eat my cooking and dessert :)
Debbie, thank you.
LCOM, thank you.
Rita, Happy 4th of July to you too? Any special plan? Talk to you soon :)
Zehan, thank for stopping by and your comment. Hope you can find some recipe here to try out :)
Little Chef, I used a 9 or 10" non-stick tube pan.
What can I say, this streusel looks absolutely perfect!! :)
hi
have baked your yummy cake this afternoon. it turned out to be so delicious, just like the picture.i did not have a tube pan, so i baked it in a 8 " square tin. will definetely go buy one tube pan as i think the cake will be baked evenly with the hole in the centre for better ventilation or circulation of the hot air, thanks for sharing your yummy receipe.
best regards
lori
Lori, you are most welcome and I am glad that you like this cake.
How much butter? 3/4 cup butter is 3/4 stick. One stick is one cup. 1 1/2 sticks is 1 1/2 cups.
Oh wait. Sorry, I was thinking pounds. You're right. My bad.
hi i was wondering if this recipe would work for cupcakes??
Breana, yes it will but the baking time will be much shorter.
Amy, here in the US butter comes in a box of 4 sticks which equal to a pound. 1 stick is 113 gram which is 1/2 cup. So 3/4 cup will be 1 1/2 stick.
