Walnut Streusel Coffee Cake

Ingredients

Topping:

• Brown sugar- 1/4 cup
• All-purpose flour- 3 tbsp
• Butter, at room temperature- half of 1/4 cup (I used nutralite, & it worked fine for me)
• Cinnamon powder- 1 tsp
• Roughly chopped walnut- 2 tbsp

Cake:

• All-purpose flour/Maida- 1 cup
• Baking powder- 1 1/2 tsp
• Caster Sugar/White powdered sugar- 1/2 cup
• Vegetable oil/Olive oil- 1/4 cup
• Egg- 1
• Milk- 1/2 cup
• Vanilla essence- 1 1/2 tsp
• White vinegar- 1 tbsp

Method

In a bowl add all the ingredients mentioned for topping except walnuts. mix well using your fingers. The mixture will be crumbly. Add walnuts mix again, keep aside.
Preheat oven to 170 degrees C. At room temperature mix the milk & vinegar. Keep aside for 5 mins. In a bowl mix all the dry ingredients (flour & baking powder). In another bowl mix the oil & sugar, add in the egg and vanilla essence. Whisk well, add milk + vinegar mixture into this. Mix again. Now add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk gently to form a lump free batter. Pour the batter into the greased 6″ or 7″ round cake pan. Sprinkle the crumbled mixture evenly on top. The batter will look nicely covered with the crumbled topping. Bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool the cake in the tin for 5 minutes and then turn onto a cooling rack and leave there till cool completely. When cooled cut into slices & serve.

Note: This cake tastes more better the next day. So as per your requirement you can bake the cake one day before.
