Homemade yeast cake is a bake that doesn’t require many ingredients. It’s perfect for any occasion and works great as a treat for children. Its fluffiness and delicacy make it, despite its simplicity, delight many a palate. It’s therefore a reliable idea for dessert. The streusel that crowns it adds extra sweetness and lets you hide fruit add-ins underneath, enriching the flavor of the bake. Below are a few tips for preparing the perfect yeast cake step by step:

- all the ingredients you’ll be combining should be at room temperature — the longer you knead the dough, the more aerated it will be, it will rise faster and be fluffier

- to ensure a fluffy dough, add eggs previously beaten with sugar to the rest of the ingredients — after it rises, "punch down" the dough by hitting it a few times with your fist, then knead it again briefly.

Recipe for a fluffy yeast cake with streusel

Preparation:

Soak the Roman baking dish in water. Start by preparing the streusel. Combine the 3 ingredients and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. While the streusel is chilling, work on the dough base. Sift the flour onto the work surface, add the salt and yeast, and mix everything thoroughly. Then add the milk and melted butter. Knead the dough briefly at first, beat the eggs with the sugar and add them to the dough. Knead on the work surface until you get a smooth, cohesive mass (dust with flour 2–3 times if necessary). Then transfer the dough to a bowl, cover it lightly with a cloth, and set it in a warm place to rise (the dough should double in volume). Grease the previously soaked Roman baking dish with butter and sprinkle with part of the streusel, which should be ready by this time. Knead the dough briefly again and transfer it to the dish. Leave to rise for 20–30 minutes under a cloth. Then sprinkle it with the remaining streusel. Place the dish in a cold oven and bake for 50 minutes at 160–170°C until browned.

Enjoy! ... because homemade is better!
