This is a very butter-rich pie crust and can be difficult and fussy to work with so give the dough time to chill and firm up in the refrigerator before attempting to roll it out and making the tart.

A surprisingly flavorful cake, light & airy, almost muffin-like in consistency, the orange cake is excellent for breakfast or snack. But brush on the glaze & pile on
the marmalade whipped cream, and you have an impressive dessert.

An excellent Chocolate Chip Streusel Coffee Cake recipe for the equally excellent @IAmJohnAles
Quick, easy, marvelous. The best coffee cake you'll ever eat; I've been making this for a very, very long time.
Light & fluffy cake, not too sweet, a crunchy streusel topping.
π
Mine is studded with mini chocolate chips & chopped pecans or walnuts.
But you can change it up by adding or replacing chips & nuts with flaked coconut, slivered almonds, or fresh cranberries. Or just leave the streusel topping as is, by itself
Ready?

INGREDIENTS streusel topping
2 tablespoons (30 grams) cold unsalted butter
2 tablespoons flour
5 tablespoons brown sugar, I use granulated/Cassonade or packed brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
ΒΌ to Β½ cup mini-chocolate chips (I personally prefer ΒΌ cup)
These butter-&-mascarpone-rich cakes have no rising agent in the batter so are dense & moist. The lemon flavor is intense & tangy and the chocolate flavor very chocolatey! One to keep, one to share.
