Streusel Cake

4 servings

Ingredients

• cake dough (see Sheet Cake) (as needed)
• 125 g flour (for the streusel)
• 50 g sugar (finely ground)
• 125 g butter (hot, melted)
• egg (for brushing) (a little)
• sugar and cinnamon (for sprinkling) (a little)

Instructions

1. Prepare the dough as for the sheet cake.
2. For the streusel, mix flour with finely ground sugar, add hot melted butter, and stir to form a dough, which you then form into small crumbs by hand after it has slightly cooled.
3. Brush the risen cake with beaten egg, spread the streusel over it, bake for about half an hour in a moderately warm oven, and sprinkle with finely ground sugar and cinnamon.
