Streusel Cake

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

2  pk dry yeast 1/2 c butter 1/2 c warm water 4 c sifted all-purp. flour
3/4 c milk 1/2 c sugar 1 x grated rind of one lemon 1 ts salt 3 ea eggs
milk, sugar, salt and> the 1/2 cup butter together 'til sugar is dissolved
and butter melted. Cool to lukewarm. Add dissolved yeast. Place the flour
blended with lemon rind in large mixing bowl; form a well in the center.
Add yeast-milk mixture and the eggs. Stir until blended and smooth. Pour
into a buttered 9x13-in baking pan, spreading dough evenly. Let rise in
warm place about 45 minutes. NOTE: Next time I would inhibit rising to
below edge of pan. Mine rose quite actively, and because of the dough
height, the rich Streusel ran over in the oven a bit.
properly pronounced (Stroyzel, not Stroosel. Streu (Stroy) means to strew.)
1/2  cup butter 1 cup sugar 1/2 tsp cinnamon Chop butter into the mixed
sugar and cinnamon to form fine particles. Sprinkle over top of risen
batter. Bake in preheated 375 degree oven for 30 minutes or until top is
golden. NOTE: Author suggests top should be syrupy, but >> authentic
Streusel is crumby (not a negative remark, quite the contrary! <G>) but
moist enough to hold on the dough without falling off.
