Easter
Cake Recipe Instructions:
Dissolve
the yeast in lukewarm milk/cream and stir in half the
flour. Put this in a warm place so it will rise to about
double it's original size.
Add
the remaining ingredients (excluding the bread crumbs
and lemon peel). Knead the dough until air bubbles form
then let it rise again for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
Grease
a deep round baking dish and sprinkle the insides with
the bread crumbs.
Fill
half the dish with dough and let it rise by about half
again. Once the dough has risen, push the mix back down
and bake for at least 1 1/4 hours on 375F.
Once
the cake is finished decorate with icing and lemon peel.
