Schnecken Recipe
The only way I can describe this cake is that it is like Chelsea Buns joined together.
Ingredients
- Scald 2 cups of milk
- Soften 2 packets yeast in ½ cup water
- Let yeast stand for 5 minutes
- In a large bowl mix: -
- 1-cup soft butter
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt, 4 eggs
- Pour scalded milk over ingredients in bowl and stir until butter is completely melted. When mixture is cooled to lukewarm blend in 2 cups flour and the yeast.
- Mix until smooth.
- Add 7 cups flour about 1/3 at a time alternately with well-beaten eggs.
- Turn dough on to lightly greased bowl and allow to rise.
- This is sufficient dough to make several cakes.
Directions
- Roll out dough and brush with melted butter. Sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon, chopped almonds, raisins and apricot jam. Roll up dough tightly like a Swiss roll. Cut the roll into 2inch pieces and place cut side into a baking tin side by side. Allow to rise and bake as above. When cool top the cake with lemon icing.
