STREUSELKUCHEN (CLASSIC GERMAN CRUMB CAKE)

Steps:

• Warm the milk in the microwave or on the stove. It needs to be warm but not hot or boiling.
• In a large mixing bowl, add the flour and the instant dry yeast (check the instructions on the package to be sure it doesn't have to be dissolved in water or milk first). Add the sugar, and then the lukewarm milk. Knead the contents of the bowl together using the spiral dough hooks of your hand mixer until everything is mixed together.
• Then add the vanilla extract, soft butter, egg, and a pinch of salt to the bowl. Keep kneading the dough for another 5 minutes until the dough no longer sticks to the sides of the bowl. Use your hands to form it into a nice ball. If your dough is too sticky, you can add a bit more flour. If the dough is a little too dry and crumbly, add a little more milk to the mix.
• Take a towel or a lid and place it over the bowl with the dough inside. Set the bowl in a warm place without a draft to allow the dough to rise. This should take approximately one hour.
• Around the 55 minute mark of the dough rise timeline, get your baking pan ready by lining it with parchment paper or by greasing it.
• Once the hour is up and the ball of dough has increased in size noticeably, remove it from the bowl. Sprinkle your countertop with flour and give the dough a quick knead with your hands. Then roll out the dough using a rolling pin to fit your baking sheet/pan. We typically use a baking pan that is around 13.5 x 9.5 inches. Once the dough is rolled to size, place the dough onto the baking sheet. Let it rest for another 15 minutes.
• In the meantime preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare the streusel for the topping. For this, place butter, sugar, and flour into a bowl. Using the spiral dough hooks or your hands, quickly knead the ingredients until small crumbs form. Press them together lightly with your hands, then set them aside.
• Once the 15 minutes of rest are up, lightly brush the dough with some water or milk. This will allow the streusel to stick better.
• Then evenly place the streusel on top of the dough.
• Bake the cake on the middle rack of your oven for around 25-30 minutes until the crumbs are lightly golden brown.
• Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool. You can dust the cake with powdered sugar before serving.
