Categories: Bread Cake

3/4	c	Milk
2	pk	Yeast
1/4	c	Water; very warm
3	c	All-purpose flour; sifted

Preheat oven to 350F at least 20 minutes before starting. Scald the milk; cool to lukewarm. Sprinkle or crumble the yeast into the very warm water in a small mixer bowl. Stir until dissolved. Add the milk and 1 1/2 cups flour. Beat at medium speed until smooth, about 30 seconds. Cover; let rise in a warm place, free from draft, until light and spongy, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, place the butter and sugar in a large mixer bowl. Cream well at medium speed. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the yeast mixture and remaining ingredients; beat until well blended, about 1 minute. Turn into a well greased 10" tube pan. Cover; let rise in a warm place, free from draft, until light and bubbly, about 1 hour. Bake in a moderate oven (350F) for about 50 minutes.
