1/4 cup (50 gr) White Sugar
1/2 cup (65 gr) AP Flour
4 tablespoons (50 gr) Softened Butter
1/2 teaspoon (7 gr) Cinnamon

Directions:

Baking Powder Dough

1. Place the dry ingredients in the bowl.

2. In another bowl mix all the wet ingredients.

3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and blend well enough where everything is incorporated. Do not over mix. You can use a hand mixer, stand mixer or I usually do it with a
bread wisk

4. Press the dough into a springform pan, that has been greased. press the edges up slightly to form a rim. I have a bowl of water to wet my fingers when i do this so it doesn't stick.
Spread the custard topping over the crust, then top with raspberries.

Let's make the Streusel
5. Use softened or melted butter and mix the flour, sugar and cinnamon if you want it in a bowl.....

Work the streusal with a spoon and fingers till you get small crumbles.

6. Sprinkle the streusal crumbs on top of the raspberries and bake for 20 min
Turn the Kuchen and bake for another 20 min until the toothpick is clean, it is lightly browned
around the edges, or the internal temperature of 200-210 degrees F.

7. Let it cool for a few minutes. Run a table knife around the edge to loose it and then take off the collar.

Serve with whipped cream to elevate this dessert to a heavenly experience!
