Streusel cake, isn’t that one of those wonderful typical German cakes often made with apples or vanilla custard beneath the crumbly streusel? I love it and was really surprised to find a recipe with peanuts, dried tomatoes and spring onions. Serve it with fresh Greek Tzatziki and nothing will be left over. For the first attempt the streusel of the original recipe were a bit too dry for us so that I moistened them with some drops of olive oil. For my second turn I didnt’t have any breadcrumbs at home and therefore I grated some rye crispbread. That makes the streusel very crusty.
