Kugelhof

== Ingredients ==
* 1 lbs flour
* ¼ lbs butter
* 2 large eggs
* 1 cup milk
* 3 tbsp powdered sugar (confectioner's)
* 1 tbsp yeast
* ¼ cup dried raisins, marinated in brandy
* 2 tbsp chopped almonds
* ¼ tsp salt
== Directions ==
# In a large pot, mix together the milk, sugar, and butter.
# Cook over low heat, just enough to let the butter melt.
# When the butter melts, transfer to a large mixing bowl.
# Let it cool for 30 minutes.
# Add the eggs, yeast, salt, raisins, and flour - little by little.
# Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture until smooth.
# Let the *dough* rest for about 30 minutes.
# Preheat the oven to 400°F (or 200°C).
# Arrange chopped almonds at the bottom of a greased *kugelhof* mold (loaf pan or cake mold is ok - kugelhof mold is a round mold with a well in the middle).
# Add the dough, then bake in the oven for 40 – 45 minutes, until cooked.
# Check by inserting a knife in the middle.
# If it comes out clean, then the cake is cooked.
# Remove from oven and let it cool for 1 hour.
# Remove from the mold, then dust with powdered sugar.
# Serve warm.
