This is an easy bitsy streusel cake you can bake at anytime for an afternoon tea. Has anyone told you that SIMPLE IS BEAUTIFUL !  Another recipe working with my Herman starter. I'm sure Herman starter group members can easily prepare this simple recipe for a start. So, here's what I did.

To activate the Herman culture by mixing the following ingredients 3 hours before working on dough.
**1/2 cup Herman starter + 1/1 cup  all purpose flour + 1/2 cup milk + 1/3 cup  sugar

Ingredients for cake :
1 cup  Herman starter
1 cup all purpose flour
1 tspn  baking soda
1/2 tspn   cinnamon powder
1/2 tspn  salt
1/2 cup  sugar
1 large egg
1/3 cup  corn oil

Ingredients for streusel topping :
1/2 cup  all purpose flour
1/4 cup  brown sugar
1 tspn   cinnamon powder
50gm   butter, chopped

Method :
(1)  mix together struesel topping then rubbing butter in with your fingers till mixture became crumbly and be able to stick together when you press it. Keep refrigerated.
(2)  combine flour, baking soda, sugar, salt & cinnamon powder and mix well then stir in Herman starter, egg and oil till stick paste is formed.
(3)  pour batter to a 9x9" tray lined with parchment paper then sprinkle chilled crumb evenly over the batter.
(4)  Let cake rest for 30 minutes in a the oven, finally, bake at preheated oven 180-185'C for about 35 minutes or till set.

The cake turns out nice & fluffy. An extra whipped cream should be perfect !

Did you notice air bubbles inside the cake ?  That means my Herman starter is doing its job. Well done baby ! Happy baking everyone.
