Yeast Cakes & Breads
For the yeast cake:
For the topping:
A rich, buttery yeast cake with a delicate, crumbly texture and a delicious orange marmalade topping. Made with Gellwe Vanilla Sugar and Lemon Flavouring, this homemade cake combines soft, golden dough with sweet raisins and a refreshing citrus flavour. Finished with orange fruit pieces and a glossy marmalade syrup, it's perfect for afternoon tea, family gatherings and special occasions.
Warm the orange marmalade, then strain it through a sieve, keeping the fruit pieces and syrup separate.
Prepare a yeast starter using a small amount of flour and the yeast dissolved in warm milk.
Once the yeast mixture has risen, add the remaining flour, egg yolks beaten with sugar, Gellwe Lemon Flavouring and Gellwe Vanilla Sugar.
Knead the dough thoroughly, then cover with a linen cloth and leave to rise.
Knead the dough again, incorporating the melted butter. Add the raisins towards the end of kneading.
Transfer the dough to a baking tin and arrange the fruit pieces from the marmalade on top.
Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C for approximately 1 hour.
Once the cake has cooled, brush the top with the reserved marmalade syrup.
Enjoy!
