Critical Success Points

  • Fully incorporating cold butter into the streusel to avoid greasy pockets.
  • Emulsifying the oil into the egg‑sugar mixture for a smooth batter.
  • Checking doneness with a cake tester rather than relying on color.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot oven and pan with oven mitts to avoid burns.
  • Butter can be slippery; keep fingers away from the hot pan when removing the loaf.
