## Ingredients

- 150 g fresh yeast, crumbled
- 1.5 cups sugar
- 1 cup warm milk
- 5 whole eggs
- 200 g butter or 1 cup oil
- 5 cups all-purpose flour
- plums

**Streusel:**

- about 50 g shredded coconut
- about 50 g melted butter
- brown sugar (to taste)

## Instructions

I'm basing this on a recipe from a friend of the family. It's not a tall, fluffy yeast cake. It's a fairly low but light cake. I made mine with plums and a coconut streusel. I don't know how many plums I used, though, because (I confess!) I forgot to weigh them :(

I baked the cake in a pan of about 35x30 cm.

Yeast cake with plums

**Instructions:**

Put all the ingredients in a bowl and mix only lightly, then cover and set aside in a warm place for 4 hours. Next, knead into a uniform dough and spread it in the pan.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Mix all the streusel ingredients together. Arrange plum halves on top of the dough, sprinkle with the streusel and bake for about 1 hour.

Enjoy!
