Ingredients

• 300 grams All-purpose flour
• 100 grams Sugar
• 180 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk
• 80 milliliters Sunflower oil (or any neutral dairy-free oil)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 150 grams All-purpose flour (for streusel)
• 100 grams Brown sugar (for streusel)
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon (for streusel)
• 70 grams Coconut oil (solid for streusel, or use vegan butter substitute)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly with dairy-free oil.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine 300 grams of all-purpose flour, 100 grams of sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoons of salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together 180 milliliters of unsweetened almond milk, 80 milliliters of sunflower oil, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing. The batter should be smooth but thick.

Step 5

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 6

To prepare the streusel topping, mix 150 grams of all-purpose flour, 100 grams of brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon in a medium bowl.

Step 7

Add 70 grams of solid coconut oil (or a vegan butter substitute) to the dry ingredients. Use your hands or a fork to mix until it forms crumbly lumps.

Step 8

Sprinkle the streusel mixture evenly over the cake batter, making sure to cover the entire surface.

Step 9

Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving.

Step 11

Enjoy your dairy-free Streuselkuchen with a cup of coffee or tea!
