This is how it is done:
For the yeast dough, first mix the sugar, vanilla sugar and lukewarm milk slowly and sensitively with the yeast. Then add flour and salt. Knead the dough thoroughly. Take your time. Kneading is important – especially with sweet and fatty yeast doughs. Please only add the softened butter at the end and then knead it for a much shorter time.
Now cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for a good 30 minutes. Then spread it evenly on the tray and give it another 30 minutes to rise.

In the meantime, you can prepare the pudding and crumbs.
Cook the pudding according to the directions on the packet and then chill in the fridge. It doesn’t have to cool completely, but it shouldn’t be warmer than room temperature.
Meanwhile, it is best to stir it frequently so that no skin forms. You can also avoid this by placing a piece of plastic wrap directly on top of the pudding while it cools.
Mix the crumbs with the ingredients mentioned above. Put the dough in the fridge first, then the butter will harden a little and it will be easier to crumble.
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.
When the base has risen enough and the pudding and crumb dough are cool enough, you can put everything together. Spread the pudding evenly over the base. Sprinkle the sprinkles on top.
Now the cake can be put in the oven at 200 degrees for about half an hour – until the crumbs are golden brown.
Then let it cool. If desired, sprinkle powdered sugar on top before serving.
Enjoy your meal!
