Butter cake

Ingredients
30 g fresh yeast
150–200 ml lukewarm milk
400 g plain flour
50 g caster sugar
A pinch of salt
40 g butter
1 egg yolk
Topping
125 g butter
150 g flaked almonds
100 g caster sugar
3 tsp vanilla sugar
Method
Place the flour, butter, crumbled yeast,
caster sugar, salt and egg yolk in a
mixing bowl. Add enough milk to blend
into a smooth, velvety dough using
dough hooks.
Leave to prove for about 20 minutes at
room temperature. Punch down, then
roll out on the greased glass tray and
leave to prove for another 20 minutes.
When risen, make indentations in the
top with your fingers.
To make the topping, mix the butter
with the vanilla sugar and half of the
sugar. Using two teaspoons, drop small
balls of the mixture into the
indentations. Sprinkle the remaining
sugar and flaked almonds over the top.

Tip
Homemade vanilla sugar: Cut a vanilla
pod in half lengthways and cut each
half into 4-5 pieces. Place in a lidded
glass jar with 500 g of caster sugar and
leave for 3 days to absorb the flavour.
For an even more intensive flavour
scrape the pulp out of the vanilla pod
and add this to the sugar.
