Drozdzowka (Yeast fruit cake)
1 Cup warm milk
1 Cube yeast (I use the fresh yeast from the store bakery)
2 Tbsp sugar
Mix together
1 Tsp Salt
7 Tbsp Oil
3/4 - 1 Cup Sugar
3 Egg yolks
1 Egg
Mix together
Mix both mixtures
You can also add
1/4 Cup raisins
1/4 Cup coconut
1 Tsp vanilla essence
3 - 4 Cups flour until sticky dough ball
Allow to rise
Once risen put in baking dish and push fruit into dough at the top
Fruit could be; Apples, prunes, plums, cherries, Rhubarb)
If using Rhubarb first microwave it with sugar. In my pictures below I used black currents from our garden that we had frozen since last year. I was sure to toss them with sugar before adding them to the top.
Topping
3/4 Cup Sugar
1/2 Cup Butter
3/4 Cup Flour
Mix together (should be crumbly). Then sprinkle the top
Bake 20 - 25 minutes at 325 when brown turn off. Because my black currents had a lot of juice in them, my cooking time was doubled. Just make sure to use a tooth pick to check.
