Introduction:
Streusel cake with vanilla pudding is an irresistible treat that has been loved in German households for generations. This delicacy combines buttery streusel with creamy vanilla pudding to create a taste experience that brings both comfort and joy. In this post, I will show you step by step how to make this classic German cake at home.

Ingredients:
For the dough:

• 250 g flour
• 100 g sugar
• 125 g Butter
• 1 No
• 1 pinch of salt
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder

For covering:

• 500 ml milk
• 1 packet of vanilla pudding powder
• 50 g sugar

For the crumbles:

• 150 g flour
• 100 g sugar
• 100 g Butter
• 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)

Directions:

1. First we prepare the dough. Sift the flour into a large bowl and mix it with the sugar, salt and baking powder.
2. Add the cold butter in small pieces and knead it with the dry ingredients until a crumbly mass forms.
3. Beat the egg and add it to the dough. Knead everything well until you have a smooth dough. Wrap the dough in cling film and let it rest in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
4. In the meantime, prepare the vanilla pudding. Pour the milk into a saucepan and heat it slowly. In a small bowl, stir the vanilla pudding powder with a little milk until smooth.
5. As soon as the milk is warm, stir in the vanilla pudding powder and bring the mixture to the boil, stirring constantly. As soon as the pudding has thickened, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.
6. Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan oven) and lightly grease a baking pan (approx. 26 cm diameter).
7. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and press it evenly into the prepared baking pan, forming a rim. Prick the base of the dough several times with a fork to prevent it from rising during baking.
8. Pour the cooled vanilla pudding onto the dough base and spread it evenly.
9. For the crumble, mix the flour, sugar and cold butter in a bowl. Knead the ingredients with your fingers until you have coarse crumbles. If necessary, you can also add a little cinnamon to give the crumble an extra touch.
10. Spread the crumbles evenly over the vanilla pudding in the baking pan.
11. Bake the streusel cake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes or until the streusel is golden brown.
12. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool slightly before removing it from the tin and cutting it into pieces.
