From a cooking legacy by VT Elverson
Ingredients:
2 cakes of fresh yeast
1 tbsp plus 1 3/4 cups sugar
2 cups lukewarm milk (80-90 degrees)
3 1/2 cups flour
3 eggs
4 ounces raisins
4 tbsp cinnamon
1/4 cup melted butter
Directions:
1. Dissolve yeast and 1 tbsp sugar in milk. Add 1 1/2 cups flour; beat well. Let stand for 1 hour, or until light. Beat eggs. Add 1 1/2 cups sugar, eggs and remainder of flour. Stir and mix well. Pour into well buttered 9 inch pie pans so that the dough is no more than 1 inch thick. Press raisins into dough about 1 inch apart. Let cakes rise at room temp until they double in height. Mix cinnamon and remaining 1/4 cup sugar and sprinkle thickly over cakes. Then sprinkle with melted butter. Bake at 350 degrees, until cakes spring back to the touch and a pick inserted comes out clean 25-40 minutes.
2. Makes 5 cakes
