Streuselkuchen is a traditional German coffee cake renowned for its crumbly, buttery topping called Streusel.

The cake is made from a yeast-based dough, which gives it a soft and slightly chewy texture, though some variations use a simpler sponge or cake batter.

The Streusel topping is a mix of butter, sugar and flour, often enhanced with cinnamon, nuts or vanilla for extra flavour.

Streuselkuchen can be baked plain or with additional layers of fruit, such as apples, cherries or plums, creating a delightful balance between sweet and tart.

It's commonly served in squares or slices, perfect for pairing with or tea.

A beloved staple of German bakeries and households, Streuselkuchen is celebrated for its comforting flavours and versatile preparation, making it a cherished treat at gatherings or as a casual dessert.
