How to Make Streusel Topping
If you want to give your cakes and muffins that extra bit of crumble and flavor, learn to make streusel topping from the easy recipes mentioned in this article.
- Baking Powder ~ ¼ tsp
- Butter ~ cooled, melted ~ 8 tbsp
- Brown Sugar ~ 4 tbsp
- Cinnamon ~ 2 tbsp
- Flour ~ ½ cup
- Salt ~ ¼ tsp
- Begin putting together your cake batter with all the necessary ingredients.
- Now, when the batter is completely ready, what you need to do is, take all the ingredients that have been mentioned above in a mixing bowl and mix them thoroughly.
- You may also consider mixing them in a food processor if you have one.
- Once the mixture has reached the desired consistency (read crumbly), you have to keep it aside while you spread your cake batter into the pan/tray that you use for baking.
- When you're done spreading the batter, take the bowl with the streusel and sprinkle generous amounts onto the batter.
- Ensure that it is evenly sprinkled. Else some parts will have excess streusel and the others won't have any!
- Now, place the tray in the preheated oven (according to what kind of cake you will be baking) and let it bake for the required amount of time.
- To check if the cake is ready or not, poke it with a toothpick and if it comes out clean, the cake is ready to be removed, cooled a bit and eaten!
- Your delicious cake with its even more delicious streusel topping is ready to be devoured by hungry mouths!
- Brown Sugar ~ ¼ cup
- Butter ~ melted
- Cinnamon ~ ground ~ 1 tsp
- Sugar ~ ¾ cup
- Salt ~ ¼ tsp
- Nutmeg (½ tsp) or Pecans ~ chopped (1 cup) or Vanilla Extract (1 tsp) or Walnuts ~ chopped (1 cup)
- Just like the recipe mentioned above, all you have to do to make this slightly different streusel topping is mix all the same ingredients, and add the mentioned amount of any 1 or 2 of the additional ingredients (nutmeg, pecans, vanilla extract, walnuts).
- Mix everything and again, sprinkle it generously on the cake batter that you've spread in the tray. Bake, cool it down a bit and enjoy the yummy treat that you just prepared!
