Ever heard this quote? “Chocolate is the answer. Who cares what the question is.” Well, that is exactly what you’d think about this Buttermilk-Chocolate Chip Crumb cake. Only the cake is buttermilk-flavored, the chocolate are in the form of delicious chips, and the topping is a delectably rich streusel.

The term originally comes from the German word “streusel”, which means something scattered or sprinkled. Now in baking, it is a type of topping that mainly consists of flour, butter, and sugar. In some modern recipes, however, some pastry chefs add spices and different types of nuts in it.

Now, the consistency of this type of topping is rather crumbly, with scattered powdery clumps in the mix. It is often used as a topping for not only cake but also cupcakes, muffins, breads, pies, and other pastries.

This recipe doesn’t actually require an elaborate assembly, but you would need over an hour to bake it. However, with such luscious results, who cares how long it takes, right?

I don’t want to date myself, but I can’t tell you this story without telling you that The Lizard (our oldest son) is graduating from high school next week.

I honestly don’t feel old enough to have an 18 year old. Maybe it’s just that I don’t feel smart enough to handle the situations and heavy life choices that are going on for him right now.

The Lizard likes just about everything, so when I ask him what kind of birthday cake he wants, I never know what answer I’m going to get. A couple years ago, he asked for a Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake , which ended up being a top contender for the best thing I have ever stuffed in my face.

Turns out, he just wanted fresh berries on it somewhere.  Not that I can blame him.  He was probably remembering how awesome his Chocolate Torte was when we added whipped cream and fresh berries to it.

Chocolate Buttermilk Cake (moist And Tender)

We ended up deciding on a chocolate chip cake, topped with berries.  And I added buttermilk , because, well, you know me.

I will say this… I would probably prefer this cake with regular old frosting rather than whipped cream.  If I had it to do over, I would probably use the frosting from this chocolate cake . But cake with fresh berries is never a bad idea!

While this cake is pictured with whipped cream, I wish I had used regular frosting instead. The dense richness of the cake is in stark contrast to the light whipped cream. I think the frosting used in this chocolate cake would be a great match. http:///2014/09/03/grandmas-chocolate-cake/
