Chocolate Chip Streusel Cake
Chocolate Chip Streusel CakeI have reconnected with friends in Winnipeg who I haven’t seen in three or four years and it was a pleasure to go back there and see how much has changed since I last saw it more than thirty years ago.
One of the best memories I have of my time in Winnipeg is probably the time spent with friends around the table, enjoying delicious perogies made by my friend’s mother.
They are probably the best ones I have ever eaten and I always get excited when I think about those! I also enjoyed barbecued ribs, I have a soft spot when it comes to eating ribs, i can never say no!
But most of all the company was the best and I miss them already. I hope it won’t take another twenty years for me to go back!
After Winnipeg I was off to Toronto, my hometown, and I was ready for the long, awaited graduation of my eldest daughter.
How proud we all are of you. It was so amazing seeing her after so long and seeing how she has grown into a beautiful, young woman, full of hope and optimism.
We all wish her the best. So by now I imagine you are asking what does this Chocolate Chip Cake with a delicious Streusel Topping fit in.
Well we decided to serve a graduation brunch and this cake was the perfect choice, filled with chocolate chips and topped with a delicious crunchy topping.
This streusel cake is a great dessert to end a pleasant gathering or in my case a graduation party. Since the summer is here now get cooking and have fun with the people you love!
Enjoy!

This cake looks delicious! I just found your blog for the first time (through the link party at Katherines Corner). I had a quick look around, and I’ll definitely be back to try some of your recipes! Italian food speaks to my heart. My great grandparents immigrated to America from Italy. I have vague childhood memories of authentic Italian cooking, but my italian grandparents have all passed on, and they took most of their recipes and cooking skills with them. I think I’ll try my hand at a few of your recipes and allow my Italian roots grow a bit :). Hope you have a great day!!
