Yield Makes three 8-inch cakes

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

2 cups milk, scalded
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter
2/3 of a 2-ounce yeast cake
1/4 cup warm water
4 eggs
4 egg yolks
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
Grated rind of 2 oranges
Grated rind of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon Grand Marnier
8 to 9 cups sifted unbleached flour
1 cup slivered almonds, chopped
1 cup muscat raisins
1 cup golden raisins

Steps:

Heat the milk; stir in the butter until melted; cool to lukewarm. Proof the yeast in the warm water.
Beat the eggs, egg yolks, and sugar until thick. Add the salt, grated rinds, vanilla, and Grand Marnier. Add the milk-butter mixture to the egg mixture. Stir in the yeast.
Add the flour, a cupful at a time, mixing with a wooden spoon. The dough should not be dry, but it should not be sticky. Too much flour will make a dry, crumbly cake. Add the almonds and raisins.
Turn the dough onto a floured board and knead for about 5 minutes, until dough comes away from your hand. Butter a very large bowl and put dough in bowl. Cover and let rise until doubled in bulk. Punch down and let rise a second time until almost doubled.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter the pans generously. (You can sprinkle pans with a tablespoon of sugar if you wish.) Divide the dough into 3 portions. Arrange evenly on the pans and cover loosely. Let rise to top of pans.
Bake cakes in oven for 30 to 45 minutes, until golden brown. There should be a hollow sound when you tap the top with your knuckles. Cool for 5 minutes in the pans, then turn out onto racks to cool.

Transfer raisins into a bowl and pour in the rum. I used a walnut-infused nalewka (Polish-style spirit), but a zesty citrus liqueur would work beautifully as well. Set aside to soak for at least 30 minutes.
Crumble fresh yeast into a bowl. Add in 2 tablespoons of sugar and ½ cup of flour. Pour warm milk in, and blend everything together with a fork. Cover the bowl with a cloth and set aside in a warm place (if it’s quite warm in the kitchen, just leaving it on a worktop will do the trick).
Add egg yolks to the rest of the sugar and use a mixer to beat them together - until light and fluffy.
