- . > Streusel-wet soak: In a deep, small bowl, combine chopped dates and the Port wine. Cover it and let it stand for a minimum of 10 minutes.
- . > Streusel-dry: In a small-medium bowl, combine all the dry streusel ingredients. Set aside.
- . Pre-heat the oven to 375F. Position rack in the center of the oven. Lightly grease an 8x8 inch cake dish (I used a glass Pyrex).
- . > Cake batter: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and oil with the sugars. Beat in the egg and then the yogurt and Port wine until smooth. Sift in the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Beat it only until all traces of flour have disappeared. Scrape the batter from the edges with a spatula.
- . Meanwhile...mix the two parts of the streusel until completely . coated with no dry traces.
- . > Assembly: Spread half the cake batter into the cake pan. Top with half of the streusel and continue with the last layer of batter. Top the surface with the remaining streusel. Note: try placing the pecan halves in a decorative manner.
- . BAKE it for about 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out fairly dry. Careful not to over-bake it. Cool lightly before serving.
- . Happy baking from Claudia's kitchen...FOODESSA.com
