Vegan Russian Zupfkuchen with creamy vanilla filling and chocolate crumble dough. Simple and delicious recipe!
Zupfkuchen is a true classic among German cake recipes. Who doesn’t love the combination of creamy cheesecake and chocolate sprinkles?
Simple Zupfkuchen Recipe
The vegan cake is very easy to prepare because the cake consists of only 2 components: chocolate crumble dough and a creamy vanilla filling. Also, you don’t need many ingredients to bake the cake. You probably have most of the ingredients at home.
For the vegan version of the cake, I use “Alpro Skyr Natur”* for the vanilla filling. You can use any kind of soy quark here. If you don’t have any vegan quark, you can alternatively use silk tofu. This should be finely pureed so that it is creamy.
Why you should try this recipe
This cake is:

This is how you prepare the Russian Zupfkuchen
- Preheat the oven and grease your baking pan.
- Put all the ingredients for the dough in a large bowl. Knead the dough into a homogeneous mass. Press the generous half of the dough evenly into the springform pan, forming a rim. Set the rest of the dough aside for later.
- Put all the ingredients for the filling in a bowl and mix with a hand mixer until smooth. Pour the filling onto the dough.
- Now spread the rest of the dough over the filling and sprinkle over it like crumbles.
- Bake the pound cake for about 35 minutes.
- Leave to cool in the mold. I recommend serving the tart with fresh berries.
