עוגת שמרים וקרם פרש
I've found this cake recipe in an old "Neue Post" magazine,from Germany, somewhere, years ago.
The cake is full with 'creme fraiche', which we can now buy in Israel again (after few year we couldn't - don't ask me why..) ,we have here lot of milk, I add golden sugar,couse we have no 'Wurfelzucker' here...
You should bake this cake in a very large baking dish.. very easy to bake, soft and sweet, do you need more from a yeast cake?... please let me know if you need the English version
