Ingredients

Yeast dough

• 300 g spelt flour type 1050
• 25 g fresh yeast
• 180 ml oat drink
• 50 g date flour
• 1 pinch of salt

Vanilla pudding

• 400 ml oat drink
• 37 g cornstarch
• 1 vanilla pod
• 5 deglet Nour dates
• 1 pinch of turmeric powder

Streusel

• 150 spelt flour type 1050
• 40 g date flour
• 4 – 5 tbsp applesauce
• 1 pinch of cinnamon optional

Instructions

Yeast dough

• Dissolve the yeast in lukewarm oat drink.
• Knead together with flour, date flour, and salt to form a soft dough.
• Cover and let rise for 45–60 minutes.

Vanilla pudding

• Simmer the oat drink with finely chopped dates and the scraped vanilla pod until the dates are soft, approx. 5 minutes.
• Mix the cornstarch and a little cold oat drink in a cup.
• Add to the hot liquid and stir quickly. Remove the vanilla pod. Allow the pudding to cool slightly. It is best to cover it with a lid. The dates can remain in the pudding or be removed before the pudding sets.

Streusel

• Mix the dry ingredients.
• Knead in the apple sauce spoon by spoon.
• Just crumble roughly, do not knead.
• Keep refrigerated until use.

Completion

• Roll out the yeast dough on a floured surface and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Spread the slightly cooled pudding over the surface.
• Sprinkle the crumble topping over the top. Then leave the yeast cake to rise for approx. 15 minutes.
• Bake in a preheated oven at 160 degrees Celsius top/bottom heat for approx. 20-25 minutes. Place the baking tray in the lower third of the oven. When baking, make sure that the crumble topping does not become too hard.
• Remove from the oven and brush the crumble topping lightly with cold water.

Tips

Cover the streusel cake with baking paper halfway through the baking time. This increases the moisture and keeps the crumble topping crumbly. Allow the streusel cake with pudding to cool slightly while covered. For a change, apples or cherries also taste good on the cake.

There are various alternatives for vegan crumble topping without butter. If you enjoyed this cake, then try baking my plum cake, with or without streusel topping. Here, the streusel topping was made with soy quark.

Interesting to know
