Match Report
Bayern had already secured the title two weeks ago but were ready to round off their celebrations in style when Michael Olise whipped in a fierce free-kick to give them a 33rd-minute lead.
Olise, who has enjoyed a brilliant first season in Germany, then turned provider as he fed Joshua Kimmich to power in Bayern's second goal eight minutes after the restart.
Kane was initially on the bench but he was introduced on the hour, replacing legendary attacking midfielder Thomas Muller, who made his 503rd and final Bundesliga appearance for Bayern and received a great reception when substituted.

Kane already held a five-goal lead over Borussia Dortmund's Serhou Guirassy in the Golden Boot race, and he was determined to make an impact on the final matchday.
The England captain hit the post shortly after his introduction before providing Serge Gnabry with an assist for Bayern's third goal.
Kane, who won the first major title of his career when Bayern clinched the title, did find the target in the 86th minute, slotting in from close range for his 26th league goal of the season.
Hoffenheim entered Saturday's game knowing a heavy defeat could have proven costly, with Heidenheim having the chance to overtake them with a win over Werder Bremen and drop them into the promotion-relegation play-off place.
However, those fears were eased early on as Heidenheim went 2-0 down by half-time in their own game, eventually losing 4-1.
Heidenheim will now play the third-placed finisher from the 2. Bundesliga for a place in next season's top flight, with Hoffenheim finishing three points clear of them in 15th.
Data debrief: More history for Kane
Saturday's game was a notable one for a couple of Bayern attackers.
Kane became the first player in Bundesliga history to be crowned top scorer in both of his first two seasons in the competition.
He is just the second player to win the award in back-to-back campaigns since the turn of the century, though he has a long way to go to match Robert Lewandowski's run of five successive Torjagerkanone successes from 2017-18 to 2021-22.
There was no goal for Muller, but he went out with a victory, having recently become just the 13th player to make 500 Bundesliga appearances and the fourth to do so with all of his outings coming for a single club.
Karl-Heinz Korbel (602 games for Eintracht Frankfurt), Manfred Kaltz (581 for Hamburg) and Michael Lameck (518 for Bochum) are the only other one-club men to hit that mark.
