Butter cake
Serves approx. 20
Dough:
400 g strong white flour
40 g soft butter
150–200 ml lukewarm milk
30 g fresh yeast
50 g sugar
A pinch of salt
1 egg yolk
Topping:
125 g soft butter
2 tsp vanilla sugar
100 g sugar
150 g flaked almonds
Method
1. Place the flour, butter, crumbled
yeast, sugar, salt and egg yolk in a
mixing bowl. Add enough milk to blend
into a smooth, velvety dough.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Leave to prove for another 10
minutes before baking until golden.

Tip: To make your own vanilla sugar:
Cut a vanilla pod in half lengthways and
cut each half into 4-5 pieces. Place in a
sealed jar with 500 g of caster sugar
and leave for 3 days to allow the sugar
to absorb the flavour. For a more
intensive flavour, scrape the seeds out
of the vanilla pod and add this to the
sugar.
