Tom Bischof then reacted fastest to a saved effort from Luis Díaz, giving Bayern a 2-1 lead before halftime. Michael Olise made it 3-1 after the break, lifting the ball over goalkeeper Jonas Krumrey after Lennart Karl set him up.
Kane completed his brace from the penalty spot after Aleksandar Pavlovic was brought down in the box.

The team returns to Bundesliga action at Schalke on Saturday, when it will also learn its next cup opponent.
