Print This Recipe
Ingredients:

3 cups flour

1 stick butter

2 tbsp plus 2 tsp sugar

1 tsp salt

1/4 cup milk - heated to lukewarm

1 1/2 tsp yeast

3 eggs, separated

1 cup half and half

Streusel:

1 1/2 cup sugar

1 1/2 cup flour

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp grated nutmeg

1 1/2 stick butter

Icing:

1 1/2 cup powdered sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla

2 - 3 tbsp milk

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, butter and 2 tbsp sugar and salt.

With fork or pastry cutter until mix resembles coarse crumbs.

In a glass measuring cup mix warm milk with the 2 tsp sugar and yeast until dissolved.

Let stand 10 minutes until bubbly and foamy.

Meanwhile, in a small mixing bowl, beat egg yolks

(reserve egg whites in the refrigerator) and luke warm half and half.

When the yeast mixture has bubbled, pour it and the egg mix in with

the flour mixture and beat well with a spoon until all flour is combined.

The dough will be very sticky.  Cover and refrigerate overnight.

The next day in 2 9×9 inch greased pans (I use a 9×13 inch pan)

press dough into pans.

Because it is so sticky, I dip my fingers in flour while doing this.

Brush dough with reserved egg whites. Set aside.

To make streusel topping:

In medium mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, salt and nutmeg.

Cut in butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle evenly over dough.

Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes to one hour.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Once the dough has risen, bake the cake 25 minutes

or until the edges turn slightly brown. Let cool while you prepare the icing.

Icing:

Mix powdered sugar, vanilla and milk to make thin frosting.

Drizzle over slightly cooled cake. This is best served warm.

    One of the biggest and most long-lasting "change" to expect if Barack Obama becomes President of the United States is in the kinds of federal judges he appoints.
