This looks like a delicious cake. It does not seem an effort to make either. I know there is a streusel topping but wouldn't it be nice with a cream cheese frosting? You can just leave out the sprinkling over the batter and when it's cooled, ice it with the frosting.

I love what I see for a lot of the information. Could you include calorie count and any nutrician info you have? e.g. fat, protein, carbs?
