      Title: BUTTERKUCHEN (BUTTER CAKE)
 Categories: Cakes, German
      Yield: 12 servings
 
      2    Env active dry yeast
    1/2 c  Water, warm
    3/4 c  Milk
    1/2 c  Sugar
      1 ts Salt
    1/2 c  Butter
      4 c  All-purpose flour, sifted
           Grated rind of 1 lemon
      3 ea Eggs
           ----Butter Topping----
    1/2 c  Butter (1 stick)
      1 c  Sugar
    1/2 ts Cinnamon
    1/3 c  Almonds, blanched, slivered
 
  Sprinkle the yeast over warm water. Heat milk, sugar, salt and the 1/2 cup
  butter together until sugar is dissolved and butter melted. Cool to
  lukewarm. Add dissolved yeast. Place the flour blended with lemon rind in
  large mixing bowl; form a well in the center. Add yeast-milk mixture and
  the eggs. Stir until blended and smooth. Pour into a buttered 9x13-inch
  baking pan, spreading dough evenly. Let rise in warm place about 45
  minutes.
  
  Chop the butter into the mixed sugar and cinnamon to form fine particles.
  Sprinkle over top of risen batter. Add the almonds. Bake in oven preheated
  to 375 F. for 30 minutes, or until top is golden and syrupy. Makes about 12
  servings.
  
  Variations: Streuselkuchen: This is much the same as Butterkuchen except
  that the lemon rind is omitted from the butter and a crumb topping of 1 1/2
  cups flour, 3/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup ground almonds and 8 Tbsp (1 stick)
  butter are sprinkled over batter. If desired, 1/4 tsp cinnamon may also be
  added to the topping mixture.
  
  Apfebutterkuchen (a Bremen specialty). Prepare as for Butterkuchen, place
  sliced peeled apples over top of dough before placing in oven. Cover apples
  with same Butter Topping. Almonds are an optional addition (and very
  good!).
