Yeast Cake
Because of my thoughts "what if it doesn't rise or if my efforts go in vain" leaven Doing work has always made me nervous. The success of all pastries I have made recently is thanks to my constant experimentation. Of course, every time I try, I try to find the easiest and most successful method.
For example, I extend the waiting time of the yeast that I have dissolved in milk. I'm waiting for the yeast to froth the milk and raise it by at least 1 finger.
I cover the dough, which has the consistency of an earlobe, and let it rest for 20 minutes by covering it with a cloth. I take the cooking process in the bowl I will do the cooking process, wet it with water and a brush, bring it to 50 degrees, I wait for it to rise until it is almost 2 times in the oven.
Those of you who buy fresh yeast know that yeasts are sold in 42-packs of 4 gr. When I buy fresh yeast, I can't use it right away, so usually 1 or even 2 packages are broken. Now I have started to store the yeast in the freezer to prevent this. 2-3 hours before making the pastry, I take it out of the freezer and wait for it to come to room temperature. In this way, I can store the yeast for months without spoiling.
The cake inevitably gives it a slightly yeasty flavor. You can add cocoa or cinnamon for this. Since I serve it by pouring jam on it, I used very little sugar. You can increase the amount of sugar if you want.

How to Make Yeast Cake Recipe?
- Take 1 glass of milk at room temperature in a soup bowl. Put 1 tablespoon in it, crumble the yeast and mash it in the milk with your hands. Wait 15-20 minutes for it to activate.
- Pour the flour into the mixing bowl and open the middle with your hands. Pour the activated yeast into the middle of the flour. The yeast will slightly rise the flour.
- Add the egg, powdered sugar and margarine and knead the dough in the consistency of an earlobe.
- Sprinkle flour on the dough you have formed into a ball, cover it with a cloth and let it rest next to the heater for 20 minutes.
- Flour your hands and break off walnut-sized balls. Roll these small meringues in your hand and place them in the cake mold that you have greased with margarine.
- When this process is finished, apply water on it with the help of a brush and make the second fermentation process for 50 minutes in the oven that you have heated to 30 degrees.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 160 degrees for 30 minutes.
I wish you well and say good luck to your hands. I like it very much, thank you. As we are used to, why three or four eggs and walnuts were not added, I will try and think it would be more delicious. I'll let you know the result, with pleasure...
I will try with powdered yeast. To the information…
I've made this cake before. Only I pour a mixture of raisins, walnuts and cinnamon at the end of each row of balls. Then I make balls again. I'm finishing it when I say a mixture of dough balls, one after the other. It's very good when it's baked, both in taste and appearance. I recommend ;) love….
If you add some crushed cloves to the cinnamon, raisin and walnut mixture (we call mother-in-law Turkish delight), it will be much better.
Hello,
I made it today it was great. Thank you very much. Thank you. Bless your heart. I also mixed some Chocolate chips in it… it was yummy! Best regards.
Can it be made with dry yeast?
The thing that always crosses my mind is to bake a yeast cake someday :) I still did not dare, I hope I will try it thanks to you. Finally, I'll write :) Good luck.
Well done in advance, I hope you have a fluffy cake :)
Hi Nilay, it's a delicious recipe. Sweet bread, like English bread .. I was wondering about something. Wet yeast spoilage happens to me all the time. I wouldn't put it in the freezer because I thought it would kill yeast bacteria, that is, very deep cold. Were you satisfied with the result of the yeast you took out of the freezer?
love, thanks
Hello Zerrin, thank you :) I'm glad you like it :) I didn't have any problems with the frozen yeast, it softens and returns to normal shortly after I take it out of the fridge. If you want, take it out of the freezer 1 day in advance and store it in any compartment of the refrigerator to avoid any problems.
Although I am not sure, as far as I remember, bacteria do not die in the freezer, they just go to sleep.
Love…
the view is super, i will try it at the first opportunity, don't let your beautiful hands be troubled Ms. Nilay
super smart i like it
Hello,
I live abroad and there is no living maya where I live. Can I make the same recipe with 10 gr dry yeast?
Thank you
I love the cake, the image before baking is so cute
Hello,
It looks great. Health to your hands. Instead of sugar, something very different can be added with fresh spices or dry spices and cheese. Like cheesecake.
It looks very good, I'm sure it must have been delicious. It's like the monkey bread recipe in shape, but I think it's lighter than that. In Monkey bread, the dough is dipped in a cinnamon sauce made with brown sugar and butter. I'm sure the recipe would be great too. Yeast cake is a great idea. Health to your hands.
I thought how much I could eat by tearing off those tiny pieces one by one. Then “did you eat it all?” I've already prepared my answer when someone says, "Well, I looked at the tiny little pieces and I came to the end, I said it wouldn't be a waste, I finished it"...
Ahahaha you are amazing :) Thanks to this, I made up a good excuse for me too. Thanks :)
Hello, I've always wanted to make this cake, but I haven't made it yet. It looks very nice, good luck to your hands...
Thank you Ozgen :) Best regards.
