There is nothing better than a German Streusel Cake with Vanilla Pudding combined with a cup of coffee or tea. This is an authentic and proven German cake recipe. Streusel means “crumbles” and in English that would be a “Crumble Cake”. The German Streusel cake is very easy to make and if you don’t want to use the packaged pudding, you can make the pudding from scratch. The Dr Oetker pudding that is available in the USA is flavored artificially (unfortunately), so you might want to get the original version made in Germany. Happy Baking!

A Fail Proof German Baking Mix

– Let pudding cool off.
– Add the egg and mix.
3. Make the Cake
– Knead dough again briefly.
– Grease a spring form (10 inches) with butter, sprinkle with bread crumbs (natural).
– Press into spring form, add dough also around the edges.
– Place pudding on top, spread even.
4. Make the Streusel
– Mix all Streusel ingredients (best with hands).
– Sprinkle Streusel over the pudding.
5. Bake the cake in pre-heated oven on medium rack for 30-40 min on 350 F (convection 320F).
Streusel should get a light brown color (exact baking time depends on the oven).
Let cake cool off completely before you remove from the form and before cutting.

Add some unsweetened corn flakes to the Streusel dough.
