Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix flour and salt. Dissolve yeast in warm water; let it foam for five minutes.
  2. In a saucepan, warm milk, sugar, and butter until melted. Combine this with flour mix and add foamy yeast, eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon zest; mix well to form dough.
  3. Knead dough for about 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Let it rise in a greased bowl covered for one hour.
  4. Prepare almond topping by melting butter and mixing in honey, cream, and almonds; cook until slightly toasted.
  5. After rising, punch down the dough and spread it in a greased baking pan. Pour almond mixture over top.
  6. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Cool slightly before whipping cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
  8. Cut cooled cake horizontally; spread whipped cream on one layer and place the other half on top. Chill before serving.
