You know about streusel. It's that magnificent crunchy and sweet topping that anoints coffee cake.
In its basic form, streusel is made by simply mixing together butter, sugar, and flour.
It can go inside a dessert...
But usually it is just sprinkled on top, where, when baked, streusel becomes a crunchy golden miracle.
AND there's this perfect layer between the streusel and the cake that gets especially gooey and sugary.
Coffee cake, while extraordinary, isn't the only treat that benefits from streusel's magical transformations. Behold:
