Mmmm Mmmmmmm Good. I added a few finely chopped pecans into the cake as well as in the topping, used Splenda for both sugars. I made a half recipe and got 3 lovely mini loaves from that. Each mini loaf is just right for DH and myself to split. Everything comes together beautifully for a delicious, fluffy and very satisfying treat. -
Delicious!!! I love the struesel - it's divine! The golden raisins and orange zest just add that extra something, too. The only change I made was to use an orange/pineapple/banana juice mix instead of orange juice, which worked out fine. I zested one valencia orange for the zest. This is so easy to put together, and stunning for your guests! Made for Veggie Swap 23, for our VIP Syd! Thanks for posting, Syd!!
