German Streusel

Hallo!So, I’ve been asked to translate this recipe from German and to convert the measurements. I made this when I was in my first year of college and it was delicious! Of course this is coming from someone of German decent and every “good German” loves their streusel. Anyways, this is a traditional type of streusel without fruit in it, so some may not like it. I will probably post a different streusel recipe that has fruit in it. This is more of a coffee cake so enjoy it with some good coffee.

 

Ingredients for the Topping

• 2 tablespoons of butter
• ½ cup of brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons of flour
• 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
• 1/3 cup of chopped walnuts

Ingredients for the Batter

• 1 ½ cups of flour
• 2 teaspoon of baking powder
• A dash of salt
• ¾ cup of sugar
• ¼ cup of shortening
• ½ cup of cream
• 1 egg
• ½ teaspoon of vanilla

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F
• Mix topping ingredients and set aside
• For the batter; mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar together
• Add in the shortening, cream, egg, and vanilla
• Beat mixture for 2 minutes
• Grease and flour a 9”x13” pan
• Pour the batter into the pan and sprinkle the topping over it.
• Bake in oven for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean

Oh boy, that was quite a strange thing to translate. I don’t think I’ve ever looked at it in English. Oh well, have fun and enjoy!
