Description

At its heart, this particular baked good is a thoughtful fusion of two timeless culinary favorites: a moist, yogurt-infused sponge and a traditional streusel topping. By layering these elements together, you create a texturally diverse masterpiece known as a triple berry crumble breakfast cake. The base consists of a rich, tender cake batter structured with fine flour and leavening agents, then enriched with wholesome Greek yogurt to guarantee a moist texture that lasts for days.

Notes

For the best flavor, use a mix of fresh seasonal berries, but frozen berries work well too—just add them straight from the freezer to prevent excess moisture. Store leftovers covered at room temperature for 1 day or refrigerate for up to 4 days. 🍓🫐✨
