Many battles have been diffused around here by the coming into the kitchen and baking with me. Glad you enjoyed this. I made this both ways and have to say that I really preferred the streusel version. I think I'm just not a chocolate/cinnamon person. But they were both really good - I think the base cake recipe here is a keeper. Love how you used some yogurt in place of some of the butter - I will definitely try that next time!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06859210460017421539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336096338851447197.post-3981234840421589112009-06-03T18:35:17.712-05:002009-06-03T18:35:17.712-05:00Your cake is very impressive, Di.

It's like reading about Julia - and Julia still gets into her older brother's toys, so I can't offer you much hope there. :) <br /><br />Your cake looks great - and I agree with you about the chocolate - I don't think it needed it. Pecans sound like a great addition, though! <br /><br /><br />Great job!!Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14512165377482951306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336096338851447197.post-46660091568039436642009-06-03T00:05:43.633-05:002009-06-03T00:05:43.633-05:00I love the 'bake wif you' comment by Gilli...I love the 'bake wif you' comment by Gillian!
