Rose's Heavenly Cakes, Page 55: Chocolate Streusel Coffee Cake
This cake is pretty straight forward so is not a difficult cake to bake. However, i don't understand why we have to bake the cake into a 6-cup bundt pan and 2 cupcakes. I would think it would be much easier to bake the batter either in all cupcakes or just 1 bundt pan right? I have been dying to try out the mini bundt pans i bought from Melbourne April last year, so i baked the cake into 8 mini bundt cakes. :)
I put in the chocolate streusel mixture (i did use light muscovado sugar this time - i realised i had a packet in my pantry all the time - i bought quite some time back and forgot about it! lol!) into the batter but i think i didn't put enough so there's quite a lot left. I heated up some left over sour cream, mix in the chocolate streusel mixture, a bit of butter & a bit of icing sugar and piped it over mini cakes.
Verdict: This cake is absolutely delicious! The texture/crumbs of the cake is extremely soft, delicate and very moist. Paired with the chocolate streusel it is absolutely heavenly! A MUST bake again cake! This recipe is definitely a keeper..not only is it easy to bake, it is soooo sooooo good! Everyone in my family loves it. I think I'm going to bake a batch of these again in cupcake form tomorrow. :)

Looks fabulous, as usual!
good call on making the leftover streusel into a sour cream glaze! your mini bundts are very cute!
So cute!
They look absolutely gorgeous!
They look wonderful! Let me know how it goes as cupcakes!
The mini bundts look wonderful! What a good idea to make a drizzle with the extra filling. It looks like it might be worth making extra filling just to do that next time.
I love the mini-bundt pans and the glaze!
Fantastic. I agree, next time I am just going to put all the batter in my 10 cup pan and be done with it.

This looks so pretty. I don't normally like coffee stuff but I would definitely try this.
Thank you Mendy, Jennifer, Ianier, Mamatkamal, Juanita, Shoshana, Lois, Raymond & Sarah!
@Juanita: I'll let you know when i baked them in cupcake form. Some of our HCB have baked them in cupcake forms and they said it was good and they looked really good too!
@Sarah: Sarah, this "coffee cake" has no real coffee in it - it's just a term..maybe it's American? I guess their coffee cake = what we term as 'tea-cakes'? ..i think..*shrugs*..lol!
Beautiful! Love the cake's texture and the choc drizzle on top. I wish I hadn't skipped this cake, ha ha :o)
gosh!
*drooling over your mini bundts*
gorgeous presentation faithy! as usual.
I love the way you made the drizzle, i would never have thought that. instead I'd just gobble it all up myself .. haha

Ah I see the coffee was a red herring. I love tea cakes even though I don't drink tea!
Oh yum. They look so cute and dainty!
It's me again, haha. I wanted to let you know that I passed along the Happy 101 award to you, because it makes me happy every time you blog! http://sugarcrafter.net/2010/01/12/more-blog-love/
I must join in the chorus of praise for the chocolate drizzle--it makes the cute bundt-lets look even more luscious. And now I'm pondering if a bittersweet drizzle might solve my only problem with this cake, which is that it's too sweet for my tastes. Maybe I'll have to try the experiment.
This must be very delicious. I can see the very fine texture. I would love that with a cup of hot tea now. That would make my day :)
Faithy - I absolutely adore you mini bundts!!!!
:)
