Marzipan Streusel Kuchen Recipes

Steps:

• Sift flour into a large bowl and make a well in the middle. Add egg, 1/2 cup sugar, and vanilla sugar to the well. Distribute 1/2 cup cubed butter evenly on top. Mix into a dough using your hands. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
• Place 2/3 of the dough in the springform pan and smooth across the bottom. Cover with rhubarb.
• Crumble remaining dough between your fingers and sprinkle over the rhubarb. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons sugar. Scatter 2 tablespoons cubed butter over the streusel.
• Bake in the preheated oven until streusel is lightly brown and crisp, 30 to 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F. Cream together the butter and white sugar until fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Add vanilla and sour cream. Mix the baking powder, salt and flour together and slowly incorporate it into the mixture. Pour half of the batter into a greased 9" spring-form pan. Mix the ingredients for the topping in one bowl and spread half of it over the batter in the spring-form. Shred marzipan using either a cheese grater or cuisinart and add over center streusel mixture. Pour the remaining batter on top and cover the cake with the remaining streusel mixture. Bake approx. 50 minutes. If the top begins to look too dark, remove the cake.
