Step 1: Gather the Ingredients

Before you begin, collect the following ingredients for the cake base and streusel topping:

Cake Base Ingredients

• 500 grams of all-purpose flour (Type 405)
• 270 grams of room temperature plant-based milk (like almond or oat milk)
• 80 grams of vegan butter or margarine
• 80 grams of sugar
• 1 packet of vanilla sugar (optional)
• 1/2 cube of fresh yeast
• A pinch of salt

Streusel Ingredients

• 550 grams of all-purpose flour (Type 405 or 550)
• 400 grams of cold vegan butter or margarine (cut into small pieces)
• 300 grams of sugar
• A pinch of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract or 1 packet of vanilla sugar

Step 2: Prepare the Cake Base

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, warm the plant-based milk slightly, then dissolve the fresh yeast in it.
3. Add the dissolved yeast to the flour mixture along with the sugar and vegan butter.
4. Mix all ingredients until a smooth dough forms.
5. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-10 minutes until elastic.

Step 3: Let the Dough Rise

• Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

Step 4: Prepare the Streusel Topping

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt.
2. Add the cold pieces of vegan butter to the flour mixture.
3. Using your hands or a pastry cutter, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. If using vanilla extract, mix it in at this stage.

Step 5: Roll Out the Dough

1. Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release air.
2. Roll the dough out on a floured surface to fit your baking dish (approximately 1-2 cm thick).
3. Transfer the dough to a greased rectangular baking dish.

Step 6: Add the Streusel Topping

1. Evenly sprinkle the prepared streusel over the rolled-out dough, ensuring complete coverage.

Step 7: Bake the Streuselkuchen

• Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).
• Bake the streuselkuchen for about 30-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
