Ingredients

  • 360 g all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 tbsp baking powder
  • 0.75 tsp salt
  • 1.5 tsp cornstarch
  • 170 g unsalted butter
  • 90 g brown sugar
  • 90 g white sugar
  • 85 g olive oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 egg white
  • 2.25 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 90 ml milk
  • 90 g Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 3.5 tsp cinnamon
  • 1.5 tbsp heavy cream
  • 80 g all-purpose flour
  • 50 g brown sugar
  • 40 g cold butter
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp walnuts or almonds
  • 0 cream cheese
  • 0 butter
  • 0 powdered sugar
  • 0 vanilla
  • 0 cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 165–170 °C. Grease a 9” round pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and cornstarch.
  3. In another bowl, beat the butter and sugars together. Add olive oil, incorporate eggs and egg white, and add vanilla.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk and Greek yogurt. The batter should be thick but fluid. If too dense, add 1–2 extra tbsp of milk.
  5. Separate 1/2 of the batter and turn it into the cinnamon batter by adding brown sugar, cinnamon, and heavy cream. It should be slightly more fluid than the white batter.
  6. For the streusel, mix flour, sugar, and cinnamon. Add cold butter and rub with fingers or a fork until crumbly. Add nuts if using.
  7. Drop large dollops of white batter into the pan, add smaller dollops of cinnamon batter, and repeat until all batter is used.
  8. Using a knife or skewer, make 2 gentle spirals without reaching the bottom. Add the streusel on top of the cake.
  9. Bake at 340°F (170°C) for 60–70 minutes. Check at 40 minutes. If it browns too much, cover with foil. A toothpick should come out clean in the white areas.
  10. Once completely cool, frost with cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and a splash of cream. Be generous and let it drip down the sides.
