Streussel is synonymous with peaceful Sunday mornings with the family. Its name comes from the German verb streuen, meaning "to sprinkle" or "to sprinkle on". It says it all: this cake is an invitation to simple indulgence, combining the softness of a brioche with the crunch of a fragrant sandstone.
Alsatian Streussel is a cake with two distinct textures:
The base: A traditional leavened dough (brioche dough), soft, light and delicately flavored, spread in a round or rectangular mold.
The top (Streusel): A generous covering of large sandy lumps. This rustic crumble is made by coarsely mixing butter, flour and sugar by hand, all intensely flavored with cinnamon.
