El Pastificio de Nicola: Riwwelkuchen | Traditional Volga German Crumb Cake

Oct 14, 2026 | Discover Riwwelkuchen, a traditional cake brought to Argentina by Volga German immigrants. Made with soft yeast dough, a caramelized sugar filling, and buttery crumbs, this old-fashioned recipe preserves the flavours of a rich culinary heritage.


Please note that the word “riwwel” is a dialect German word coming from the dialectic word “riwweln”, which in standard German would be ‘reiben’, meaning to rub or grate. In standard German, or Hochdeutsch, this cake is called Streuselkuchen. In order to undertand this correctly think of the English apple crumble, or rhubarb crumble, etc. That is the English equivalent. — Mark
