Ingredients
Yeast dough:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ⅔ cup lukewarm milk
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- ½ tick unsalted butter softened
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 Tablespoon lemon zest freshly grated
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Topping:
- 26 ounces blueberries fresh, washed and drained
- 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar to sprinkle over blueberries
Streusel:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ⅔ tick unsalted butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Activate dry yeast: Pour ⅔ cup lukewarm milk (warm but not hot) into a glass. Stir in a teaspoon of granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons active dry yeast. Leave in a warm place for 15 minutes to bubble.
- Make yeast dough: Sift 3 cups all-purpose flour into a large mixing bowl. Add pieces of ½ stick unsalted butter, 2 egg yolks, ⅓ cup granulated sugar, 1 Tablespoon lemon zest, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Pour in activated yeast, including all the milk. Using a wooden spatula, beat out into a soft dough, that is a little bit sticky.
- Let the dough rise: Cover the dough with plastic wrap or a clean tea towel and leave it to rise in a warm, draft-free place for 45 minutes. After about half an hour, knead the dough quickly to encourage further rising.
- Make streusel topping: Meanwhile, make a buttery streusel crumble. Place ⅔ stick unsalted butter, ½ cup granulated sugar, and 1 cup all-purpose flour in a bowl and rub between your fingers until you get a crumbs.
- Prepare baking sheet: Grease a baking sheet with a piece of butter. Spread the risen dough on the sheet, using your fingers to press it thinly to the edges. Using the edge of your palm, shape slightly raised rims along the perimeter of the sheet.
- Pour 26 ounces blueberries in a thick layer over the prepared dough, and sprinkle them with sugar; about 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar per sheet. Finally, top the blueberries with the streusel crumble.
- Bake the cake: Bake the blueberry cake in a preheated oven at 350 °F (lower and upper heating) for 35-40 minutes. Edges of the cake turn golden brown.
Notes
- Baking sheet:
- SERVING:
- The basic recipe makes about 16 pieces.
- Baking sheet: In the Czech Republic, a large baking sheet about 18x13 inches (45x33 cm) is most commonly used for baking. Get this size if you want to bake the cake exactly according to the recipe. If you want to bake in a 9x13-inch baking dish, prepare the cake with about ⅔ of the amount.
- Immediately after removing the cake from the oven, drizzle its surface with melted butter to which you have stirred two tablespoons of spiced rum. This is a fantastic twist!
- This yeasty sheet cake can be layered with any summer fruit, not just blueberries. Apricots, strawberries, raspberries, apple slices, and a mix of fruits - combine black and red currants or gooseberries with some sweeter fruits.
- SERVING: Let the finished cake cool for a while. Then, cut the cake into slices of about 4x4inches/10x10 cm, and serve.
- STORAGE: Cover the cooled coffee cake with cling film, aluminum foil, or a clean tea towel. It will keep at room temperature on the kitchen counter for about 3 days.
