Winklers Morovian Sugar Cake Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Sprinkle yeast and 1/2 teaspoon sugar into the 1/2 cup of warm water.
  • Set aside until yeast bubbles, and mixture is foamy.
  • Add the next 7 ingredients, and about 1 cup of flour.
  • Beat with a wooden spoon.
  • Add remaining flour or a little more if needed, until bread dough consistency.
  • Place in a greased bowl and turn it to coat.
  • Dot dough with butter, and let it rise until double in size, about 1 hour.
  • Then, punch dough down, and place in a greased shallow baking pan (about 17 x 12 inches)
  • Let rise 30 minutes, then sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
  • Note: one reviewer commented "The 3 cups flour became about 7 to make it a workable dough.
  • Must be an error in the recipe"
  • There is no mistake in the recipe; this is a cake with a soft dough, not a bread.
  • The term "workable" does not apply here; the soft dough will rise right in the pan.
  • This is not a bread where you are continually kneading it into something that must be shaped.
  • Had the reviewer simply patted it into the pan and let it rise in the pan it should have been fine.
  • The mistake was adding all that extra flour and treating it like a bread.
  • Now the fun begins.
  • As if you're playing the piano, punch your fingers into the dough making indentations.
  • Pour on remaining 1/2 cup of butter, and let dough rise another 30 minutes.
  • Bake in a preheated 375ºF for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.
