I have a cake in the oven.

[MissMillie]

It's a "sour cream" streusel cake (though I've been told I can't call it "sour cream" because I used plain yogurt.

I know it's not quite right (I won't bother to tell you why) but I think it will be okay.

I added my own little touch by putting some orange zest in the batter.

The batter was thick. Reminded me a bit of carrot cake or chocolate zucchini cake batter. Not quite THAT thick. But thick.

After it cools it gets a glaze. I'm thinking of serving it with some orange segments.

1. Yum.

I baked a chocolate cake the other day. My wife asked me what I was celebrating.

I told her Thursday.

Your cake sounds delish, MissMillie.

7. Looks perfect to me. Now what was wrong with it?

How was the taste?

[MissMillie]

8. The taste was great

the hint of orange zest (which was not in the recipe) really added something!

I had a LOT of the streusel filling left over. I was concerned that I messed up the ratios.

Honestly. I think when I make it again, I'll cut the streusel in half. The cake didn't need any more sugar in it.
