300 g sugar
3 Pack(s) vanilla sugar
2 Tablespoon(s) rum
1 Teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
1 lemon, zest and juice
5 eggs
420 g wheat flour
1 Pack(s) baking powder
300 ml yoghurt

For the decoration

  • Cooking time: 1 h 10 min
  • Total time: 1 h 30 min

Prepare the cake

1
Beat the butter, sugar and 2/3 of the vanilla sugar with the rum, vanilla flavouring and lemon juice and zest until very fluffy.
2
Separate the eggs and stir the egg yolks into the mixture one by one. Mix the flour with the baking powder, sieve and add to the mixture alternately with the yoghurt. Preheat the oven to 180°C top/bottom heat.
3
Beat the egg whites with the rest of the vanilla sugar until stiff and fold into the batter. Pour everything into the cake tin and bake for 70 minutes. If necessary, cover the dough with aluminium foil after 40 minutes to prevent it from browning too much.
4
Leave the Gugelhupf to stand in the tin for 10 minutes and then turn out onto a rack to cool.

Decorate the cake

Decorate the Gugelhupf first with lemon icing and then with lemon zest and brittle.
