How Does Your Zucchini Streusel?

This first time I made this bundt I forgot to add the baking soda. Despite missing a key leavening agent, the cake got positive reviews. I then knew I had to remake this bundt will ALL the ingredients! This is a bundt that is light on calories, but not lacking flavor. The streusel layers in the cake are so yummy and at around 279 calories a slice one can eat without the guilt. I will be making this bundt many more times! The original recipe calls for 1/3 cup of brown sugar, 1/3 cup chopped walnuts and 1/3 cup raisins to make the streusel. I increased each of the streusel ingredients to 1/2 cup due to my pure love of the streusel layer. Please enjoy!

2. Coat a 10 in. Bundt pan with Pam Baking or Baker's Joy (if you do not do this you will be sorry and have to eat your cake out of the Bundt pan); sprinkle with bread crumbs.

Sprinkle with remaining brown sugar mixture; top with remaining batter.
