A delicious treat shared by my friend, Warren, food connoisseur, this coffee cake is both breakfast and dessert.
When asked if he liked this recipe, Ben answered, "Yes, definitely, I love this shit."
Streusel Topping
½ cup butter, chilled
1/3 cup granulated sugar

½ cup granulated sugar
1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
1 teaspoon salt
4 eggs
½ cup butter, melted and cooled
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups sour cream or plain yogurt
Fruit filling
2 cups fresh fruit; berries, sliced pears, you decide. If using frozen fruit, defrost before using.

To make Streusel Topping

To make Cake (Two Bowl Assembly Wet Bowl and Dry Bowl)
