  1. Note: The sourdough starter should be as thick as thick pancake batter, or about 50% flour, 50% water. I usually remove half the starter and feed both halves with equal amounts of flour and water, by weight, then wait for it to bubble up (about 4 hours) then put one jar back in the refrigerator for another week. The extra sourdough starter can be given to a friend or used in a recipe like this one.

  2. Mix the streusel topping first by combining flour, sugar and cinnamon in a bowl, then rubbing the cold butter in with your fingers until the mixture is crumbly and sticks together if you press it between your fingers. You may use a mixer, if you wish.

  3. Set crumbs aside.

  4. To make the cake, place the sourdough starter in a bowl, add the rest of the ingredients and stir until combined.

  5. Pour the batter into a buttered and floured, 8 or 9 inch square pan or an 8 inch, round, layer cake pan. Smooth top and sprinkle reserved crumbs evenly over the batter.

  6. Let the cake rise for about 30 minutes in a warm place.

  7. Bake at 375°F for about 35 minutes, or until cake is set and the sides begin to pull away from the pan.

  8. Remove, cool and enjoy.
