Frank's Cinnamon Kuchen image

This is my late father's recipe. He did not make it with fruit like a ton of other kuchen recipes that I have seen. Its a cinnamon german coffeecake that he helped sale at my hometown's annual summer festival. He was part of the Knights of St.John and this is the kuchen that they sold every year at the festival. I sometimes drizzle vanilla glaze or icing on the top, but this is my doing and not part of the original recipe. One more thing..this will NOT rise up a lot. It rises only a small bit and the dough will not fill up and touch the edges of the round cake pans.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think it would be perfect for someone with a sweet tooth.

The streusel topping was a bit too crumbly for me, but the filling was spot-on.

I've tried many cinnamon kuchen recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. The streusel topping is perfectly crunchy and the filling is moist and flavorful. I highly recommend this recipe!
