Directions:
To make the dough for the cake
1. Put flour into bowl,make a well in the middle, pour in the room temperature milk
1 teaspoon of sugar and the yeast. Let this sit for a few minutes to let the yeast activate, then
mix together.
2. Add the remaining sugar, salt, egg and lemon rind. Cut the butter into slices and mix into the dough. Knead until smooth.
3. Roll out the dough and fit it onto a greased cookie sheet.
Let rise for 20 minutes, meanwhile ,make the topping
Prepare the Topping and Bake the Cake
preheat the oven to 375 degrees
Gather the ingredients, butter, lemon juice, vanilla, milk, sugar and sliced almonds.
Bring milk and butter to a simmer and add the sugar and nuts and cook till
smooth and the milk is absorbed. Stir in the lemon juice.
The topping is ready.
The cake has risen and ready to bake.
Spread the topping over the cake.
Spread the topping on the dough and bake the cake for 35 minutes.
Prepare filling while the cake is baking.
Gather your ingredients for the filling.
Milk or cream, vanilla extract, butter and vanilla pudding mix.
1. Heat the milk or heavy whipping cream on the stove to a simmer.
Add the vanilla pudding and cook for 1 minute, remove from stove and let cool
slightly.
.Cut butter into small chunks and blend into the pudding one at a time.
Chill the pudding till it is at least not warm.
Some times you cut the whole cake and fill it. This is an alternative method, where I cut individual slices and fill them. Cut the slices in half.
Spoon about 2 -3 tablespoons filling onto bottom half, and replace top.
Put the top on and take a spatula and smooth out the sides.
This has such a yummy look.
Place on a plate and add a garnish like edible flowers or mint.
Serve with coffee or tea.
