"Streusel" is a crumbly topping made from a mixture of butter, flour, golden sugar, and ground cinnamon. The word 'streusel' comes from the German word "streuen" which means 'to sprinkle' or 'to scatter'. "Streusel" was originally used as a topping for the "StreuselKuchen" but you can use "Streusel" for any coffee cakes, muffins, tarts, dimsum bread, etc. etc. .
This recipe was inspired by Spiked-blueberry-crumb-bars@Cooking Canuck and Kuchen vom Blech@Dr. Oetker

- Line a 30cmx25cm rectangle baking tray with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 190C/375F.
- Combine the gooseberry, blueberry, lemon juice, half of the sugar and 2 tablespoon of flour in a mixing bowl.
- In another bowl, mix together the remaining of the sugar, flour, salt, ground cinnamon and baking powder. Cut in cold butter and rub until coarse crumbs form. Add in the egg and vanilla extract.
- Pour half of the mixture into the prepared baking tray. Spread on the berry mixture and cover with another half of the flour mixture. Bake for about 40-45 minutes until the surface has become golden and crisp.

This looks so good that I want to have a whole pan of this to myself. Unfortunately, gooseberries are illegal in my state (the bush causes some sort of blight on one of our native trees). Some day in my travels, I will have gooseberries and love them!!
Oh this looks so fantastic. I would love to have one of these right now. Blueberries, streusel.. 2 of my favorite things.
I just posted a gooseberry recipe too! I used cooking gooseberries instead, they were sooo sour and my hubs banned me from cooking those ever since haha. Would love to try the dessert gooseberries though! Looks amazing!
@Abhilash Pillai : Thank you!
@Pavithra: I could have saved one large square for you!
@Chow and Chatter: I always find gooseberry kind of too sour for me to eat raw, So I prefer to use them bake a cake.
@Nila Rosa: How nice to see you again! You must have been very busy with the hospitality job.

@Katy: Although the streusel cakes taste good with almost all kinds of fruit, it's still a pity that the gooseberries are not available there.
