Placek Coffee Cake

Dough:

• 2 cups lukewarm milk
• 6 eggs
• 1 (2oz) yeast cake
• 4 cups flour
• 3 Tablespoon sugar
• Rind of Lemon
• 3 cups flour
• Dash nutmeg
• 1 cup butter
• Raisins (optional)
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 Tablespoon Salt

Crumbs:

• ¾ Cup Sugar
• ¼ cup soft butter
• ½ Cup Flour
• Nuts (optional)

Crumble yeast cake into lukewarm milk to which 3 Tablespoon of sugar has been added. When dissolved, stir in 3 cups of flour. Beat it with a wooden spoon; let rise until double. In the meantime combine remaining ingredients, adding the eggs, one at a time, as you beat with electric mixer. When spongy dough has risen, combine the two mixtures, adding some plumped white raisins if desired. Place dough in 4 greased loaf pans. Top with crumbs. Let rise 45 minutes to 1 hour until light. Put in preheated 375° oven and bake 30 minutes.
