Preparation and baking instructions for the yeast cake with apple
- First, gently fold a sachet of yeast into the flour and stir gently.
- Then add the sugar, the packet of vanilla sugar, the three medium eggs and the lukewarm milk, as well as the margarine (or butter) and salt.
- Mix well with a mixer or food processor (dough hook) until a firm dough is formed.
- Let the dough rise for about 1 hour (in a warm place without drafts – at room temperature).
- The dough should have doubled in the meantime and then put it on a baking tray lined with baking paper and a baking frame.
- Now preheat the oven to 200°C (top/bottom heat)
- Spread the complete package/glass of applesauce evenly on the dough
- For the crumbles now mix flour, sugar, vanilla sugar and soft margarine in a fresh mixing bowl until nice fluffy. In winter I like to add cinnamon to the crumbs
- It is best to use a normal beater and optionally add some flour if the crumbles are too big.

Bake yeast cake with apple and crumble easily as sheet cake recipe

Easy yeast cake with apple as a sheet cake recipe
I’m sharing with you my favorite recipe for a delicious sheet cake with dry yeast. Currently, this sheet cake recipe is my personal favorite cake, because it just always tastes delicious. It also always goes down well with guests, unfortunately you just can’t bake it quickly on the spur of the moment.
Streuselkuchen is a sheet cake that we always like to serve at family gatherings, because it tastes good to everyone and, depending on the season, can also be made with different fruits, such as cherries. Although the cake is made with yeast, it always turns out quickly and easily.
You don’t need complicated ingredients, but simple ingredients that are always needed in the kitchen and are always in stock at our house. Even if you don’t have applesauce in the house, you can bake the cake with just crumbles as a topping.
Especially with a yeast dough, I love using my food processor. The longer you knead the dough, the fluffier and softer the cake will be later. However, the longer kneading also adds gluten to the dough. Of course, you can also achieve the results with a hand mixer, but more relaxed here is of course the luxury of a food processor.

Notes
Nutrition
Personally, I like it when the sheet cake recipe is baked with applesauce as a topping, because then it is so really delicious and chewy. In winter I like to mix some cinnamon to the crumble, whereas in summer I prefer to eat the version without cinnamon.
The nice thing about yeast dough sheet cake recipes is that you can easily freeze them and they still taste fresh and delicious afterwards. In the summer, I like to serve a scoop of vanilla ice cream with the cake on warm days.
I’ll be happy to show you more variations of delicious and simple sheet cake recipes soon, which you can easily bake after. Some with yeast and some without yeast. Nothing tastes better with coffee than fresh cake that you have baked yourself. Regardless of whether you are expecting guests or just want to give yourself a treat.
Have fun trying them out!
