ALSATIAN YEAST CAKE
This cake is eaten as an accompaniment to coffee, often at breakfast. It does not keep well and should be eaten within a day or two. For that reason I’m going to use it tomorrow for making French toast with syrup and bacon or a bread and butter pudding… or both as it’s a large sweet yeast cake.
75 g raisins (I used half currents half dried mixed citrus peel soaked in 100 ml Amarula Gold liqueur)
10 g dry instant yeast
250 ml warm milk
100 g sugar
500 g cake flour
2,5 ml salt
