Pour half the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Evenly pour the streusel mixture onto the top of the cake batter. Pour the rest of the cake batter on top of the streusel and smooth over to cover streusel. Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.rnrnI served it plain but it would be lovely with some ice cream or freshly whipped cream or creme' fraiche. On further thought a cream cheese frosting would be great slathered on the top for a little added decadence.
