Equipment

stovetop, oven, kitchen scale, mixing bowl, whisk, dough scraper, clean cloth, pastry bowl, 30×40 cm baking tin, small saucepan, measuring spoon, large mixing bowl

Instructions

  1. Mise En Place

    Gather the measured ingredients and set out a scale, bowls, whisk, scraper, cloth, pastry bowl, and a 30×40 cm baking tin. · 10 min

    What to look for: All ingredients are measured, and the baking tin and tools are ready.

  2. Activate Yeast

    Warm the milk to 35°C / 95°F, then stir in fresh yeast and 1 tsp sugar; rest for 10 minutes until the surface foams. · 10 min

    What to look for: The mixture looks creamy with light foam on top.

  3. Combine Dough

    Combine 500 g wheat flour, 2 eggs, 100 g butter, 100 g sugar, vanilla sugar, salt, and the foamy yeast mixture in a large bowl. · 5 min

    What to look for: The dough comes together into a soft, shaggy mass.

  4. Knead Smooth

    Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes, scraping the bowl as needed, until it turns smooth, stretchy, and only lightly tacky. · 10 min

    What to look for: The dough is elastic and pulls from the sides of the bowl.

  5. Let Rise

    Cover the bowl with a cloth and leave the dough in a warm place for 60 minutes, until puffed and about doubled. · 1 h

    What to look for: The dough is airy, swollen, and nearly doubled in volume.

  6. Shape Tin

    Grease the 30×40 cm tin with 5 g butter, press in the risen dough evenly, and smooth the top without deflating it harshly. · 5 min

    What to look for: The dough fills the tin in an even layer.

  7. Make Streusel

    Rub 100 g cold butter into 150 g wheat flour and 100 g sugar with fingertips until large pea-sized crumbs form. · 10 min

    What to look for: The streusel is crumbly with uneven, pea-sized butter-flour pieces.

  8. Top Cake

    Scatter the streusel generously over the dough, keeping the crumbs uneven for a crunchy rustic topping. · 5 min

    What to look for: The dough surface is fully covered with rough streusel crumbs.

  9. Bake Golden

    Bake at 180°C / 356°F for 30-35 minutes, until the cake is risen and the streusel is golden at the edges. · 35 min

    What to look for: The cake is golden, risen, and the streusel looks crisp.

  10. Serve Slices

    Cool in the tin for 30 minutes, then cut into 12 squares and serve at room temperature so the crumb stays tender. · 30 min

    What to look for: The slices hold their shape and show a soft crumb under crisp streusel.

Ingredient substitutions

Milk

  • Water: The dough will be less rich and less tender.

  • Sunflower oil: Usable in the dough, but not ideal for authentic crumbly streusel.

Sugar

  • Vanilla sugar: Use only for part of the sugar if a stronger vanilla aroma is desired.

Vanilla sugar

  • Sugar: The cake remains traditional but loses the gentle vanilla note.
