Ingredients
  • Flour – 1 ¾ cups
  • Baking powder – 1 tsp
  • Baking soda – ½ tsp
  • Sugar – 2/3 cup (original recipe has 3/4 cup)
  • Eggs – 2 / large
  • Vanilla Essence – 1 tsp
  • Butter - 1/2 cup
  • Yogurt – 4 tbsp
  • Cream – 2 tbsp (25% fat)
  • Juice of ½ lime
  • Zest of 1 orange
  • Streusel:
  • Flour – 1 tbsp
  • Brown sugar – ¼ cup
  • Toasted walnuts – ½ cup (Toasted in oven for 8-10minutes. Keep an eye on them or they will brown too fast & burn).
  • Regular chocolate chips – ½ cup (I used Ghirardelli bittersweet)
  • Mini chocolate chips – ½ cup

Directions
  1. Line & grease & dust the bottom of a 9” spring form baking tin. Grease and dust the sides.
  2. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C.
  3. Prepare the streusel by mixing the 1 tbsp of flour + brown sugar + toasted walnuts in a bowl. Divide into 2; mix big chocolate chips in one, and the mini chips in the other. (Use only 1 size/variety of chips if you like.)
  4. Stir together the flour + baking powder + baking soda in a bowl.
  5. Mix the yogurt + cream + lime juice in a small bowl. (You can use sour cream instead)
  6. Beat the butter + sugar until light.
  7. Beat in the eggs one by one, and then the vanilla essence + orange zest.
  8. Beat in the 1/3 of the flour mixture; then 1/3 of the yogurt/cream mixture. Repeat twice & beat until just mixed in properly.
  9. Put half the batter in the tin; level out. Sprinkle the half streusel mix with the regular Ghirardelli chips evenly over this.
  10. Top with the remaining batter; then sprinkle the other half of the streusel mix evenly.
  11. Bake for approximately 60 minutes/ till done.
  12. Leave to cool in tin on rack for 10 minutes, and then remove the sides.
  13. I took the bottom lining parchment off about an hour later; peeled it off carefully as I couldn't invert the cake, else the topping may have fallen off.
  14. Serve warm as it is…OR with whipped cream or a dollop of vanilla ice-cream!

For the cake, you can skip the orange zest & use cinnamon in the streusel instead. I just enjoy adding twists to the tale!

I made this cake for my family the other night and of course... its already gone. Definitely making it again. Think maybe a little less sugar on the top though next time.... :P

And for the parson questioning about the butter...
I put half a block in and it was fine.

Hi Vindee,
Made this one today & it was delish! I didn't have any limes, so used the juice of half a small lemon. Used 4oz of butter which I think was about right. Very tasty, thanks for sharing!
