Recipe



IF USING ACTIVE DRY YEAST; sprinkle it into the 1/2 cup warm water along
with a pinch of sugar. Set aside in a warm, draft free corner for 5 to 10
minutes, until foamy.

IF USING CAKE YEAST; cream it with the 1 tablespoon warm water and a pinch
each of sugar and salt until a syrup forms. Set aside for 5 to
10 minutes, until foamy.

With an electric mixer, cream the butter with the sugar and salt until
light and fluffy. Blend in the lemon peel. Stir in the whole egg, the egg
yolks and vanilla; stir in the milk. Add 3 cups of flour and stir in until
smooth. Gradually beat in enough of the remaining flour until you have a
dough that is light, pliable, moist and workable.

Turn onto a floured board and knead for at least 15 minutes, or until the
dough is very satiny and elastic. Place in a lightly greased bowl and cover
with a towel. Set in a warm, draft free corner to rise until doubled in
bulk, about 1 to 1-1/2 hours. Punch down and let rise again until doubled
in bulk. The dough has risen sufficiently if an indentation remains when
you press your finger into it.

Knead dough lightly and roll or pat it out to fit a buttered 9-by-13 inch
pan or a 10-inch round springform pan. Brush the dough with melted butter
and sprinkle liberally with streusel crumb topping. Cover and let rise for
1 hour.

While rising, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake coffeecake about 45
minutes, or until the cake is done and the crumbs are golden brown.

STREUSEL CRUMB TOPPING: Combine the granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon and
melted butter. Mix the butter into the dry ingredients with your fingertips
until you have clumps of medium sized crumbs. More butter will make larger
clumps; more flour will make finer crumbs.
