Delectabe Streusel-Topped Cheese Bundt Cake
I love a good crumb cake, and this dairy streusel cheese Bundt cake is the perfect Shavuos treat if you’re looking for a break from cheesecake!
I am not a huge cheesecake person, and neither is anyone in my family. We generally prefer the savory cheese dishes Shavuos has to offer. However, I love a good crumb cake and Bundt cakes are also one of our favorites, so one year, before Shavuos, when I was trying to figure out a dairy baked good that I could make that wasn’t cheesecake, I came up with the idea of making a milchig streusel cheese Bundt cake.
It was an instant success! Layers of crumbly cake with cheese filling…just divine! I won’t name names, but one kid sliced off the top of the cake, ‘cuz that’s where the good stuff was!
The crumbs have that delicious melt-in-your-mouth taste and the cheese filling adds so much, making this the perfect treat to have with your morning coffee while the men are in shul or after a nice milchig meal served alongside some ice cream or cut-up fruit.
If you want to keep this cake pareve, you can substitute pareve cream cheese in the filling and a pareve milk in the cake.
As always, it is important to use a good Bundt pan. I love my Nordic Ware Bundt Pan — it’s worth the extra few dollars.
The number-one question I get about this streusel cheese Bundt cake is how I make a Bundt cake with crumbs on top. The answer is that it’s technically plated upside down! Once cooled, I flip the bundt cake onto a plate and then flip it back onto my cake plate and it is now ready to be displayed on my counter—upside down (see video)!
If you love the way a Bundt cake looks on your counter as much as I do, you’ll also enjoy this delightful glazed lemon blueberry bundt cake.
