Challenge: Great–Grandma Anna’s crumble cake

My latest baking stories…. I collected a few recipes that I found in magazines, baking books, and online to start my personal challenge to make the best crumble cake (Streuselkuchen). The reason for that is that my grand-grandmother made the best crumble cake I have ever eaten. Unfortunately my family does not have the recipe what is very sad, because everyone misses her perfect crumble cake. My family remembers in every details how great her cake was. Everyone combines Ur-”Oma Anna” (Great-”Grandma Anna”) with crumble cake. Mhhhhh, I still remember the smell of her house, when she made the cake. I live now in this house and it reminds me so often of my Granny and her famous crumble cake.
Last year I made my first crumble cake. The yeast dough was too firm. The taste was fine, but not at all like how I know it from my Granny.
A few days ago I made a new version from a new recipe that I found online and which obviously a lot of people liked. This version was for a spring-form pan:

The dough was much better than the cake from last year, but the taste….was good, but still something was different than her cake. Maybe the crumbles on top need more butter taste…and the dough could be sweeter in general? I don’t know, I will bake the next crumble cake this week. I have two more recipes that sound good and I talked to a baker (my neighbor) today and he gave me tips and told me everything he knows about the secret of a good yeast cake. He also said that yeast cakes are a challenge. Yup, that is something for me; I like challenges.
If you have any tips or great crumble cake recipes, please let me know (comments,email)! I will bake them all!
