"I love Butterkuchen...probably too much...in fact, remove the word probably... This is a yeasted coffeecake, somewhere between a pastry and a cake, with a yummy topping. It only has to rise for 45 minutes, so it's do-able for weekends."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

In a pyrex mixing bowl, combine milk, sugar, salt and butter. Heat in microwave until butter is melted.

Step 2

Meanwhile, in small bowl, dissolve both packets of yeast into warm water with a pinch of sugar.

Step 3

Measure flour into another mixing bowl. Add eggs and stir slightly, until just combined.

Step 4

Add melted butter mixture and stir just a little.

Step 5

Add yeast and stir just enough so that all ingredients are incorporated.

Step 6

Spread dough into a greased 10 x 13 pan and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes.

Step 7

While dough is rising, preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Step 8

Mix together topping ingredients and sprinkle over dough.

Step 9

Place in oven over a halfsheet to catch any syrup that runs over the top.

Step 10

Bake for 22-27 minutes, being careful not to overbake. You want the top golden and syrupy.

Step 11

Serve warm.
