Steps:
- To prepare the dough: in a bowl, combine milk, sugar, and yeast. Stir and allow to proof.
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Using the paddle attachment, over low speed, slowly add the yeast mixture. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and lastly, the butter, a piece at a time.
- Continue to beat at medium speed until the dough gets elastic and almost forming a ball around the paddle, about 3 to 4 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and let the dough rise until double in size, about 45 to 60 minutes.
- Generously butter a gugelhupf mold. Sprinkle with sugar. Reserve.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Roll out the dough into 1/4-inch thickness, about 12-inches wide and 16-inches long. Spread the butter throughout the surface. In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over the butter. Lastly, sprinkle the chopped nuts and macerated raisins. Roll the dough into a log and place inside the prepared mold.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until top is well browned. Leave it to cool in the mold for 10 minutes, then unmold it on a wire rack. Sprinkle generously with sifted powdered sugar before serving.
GUGELHUPF
Gugelhupf is a classic German and Austrian cake that is baked in a gugelhupf pan, which is similar to a Bundt® pan, just a bit higher. Germans like their cakes on the dry side because they are traditionally eaten in the afternoon with a cup of coffee or tea ("Kaffee und Kuchen").

GUGELHUPF / KUGLOF / KUGELHOPF - GERMAN/HUNGARIAN COFFEE CAKE
However you spell it, it's a rolled coffee cake made from a raised dough that has a walnut/chocolate swirl inside. This recipe was given to me by both my Aunt (in-law) and Mother-in-law. The family always enjoy it during every holiday/family gathering and since I've been successful at making it, that job seems to have been past on to me- The tradition shall continue. Yay!

Steps:
- Into a food processor, place flours, lemon rinds, 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar and butter. Process until mixture is crumbly. Set aside.
- In small bowl, warm milk to about 115°F stir in remaining tablespoon of powdered sugar and package of yeast. Let sit until bubbly (about 10 minutes).
- Separate 4 eggs - beat yolks and refrigerate whites, to save for filling.
- Add yolks to the yeast mixture.
- In large bowl place flour/butter crumbles and pour eggs/yeast over top.
- Keeping it inside the bowl, mix and knead the dough one handed (use both hands if necessary) until smooth - IMPORTANT: dough will be very gooey and sticky- DO NOT add more flour, just work the bumps out.
- Once dough is smooth - cover bowl tightly with plastic and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours).
- Now work on your filling:.
- Place walnuts, powdered sugar and cocoa into food processor. Chop until walnuts are finally grounded.
- Transfer to a bowl and let sit inside refrigerator until dough is ready.
- When dough is ready: Heavily flour your work surface. (I like to spread out a large cheese cloth on my surface and flour it.).
- Remove dough from bowl and roll out into a large rectangle.
- Once that is formed, remove egg whites and whip them in a bowl until stiff peaks form.
- Fold in the grounded nut mixture.
- Spread this filling over the dough rectangle and starting at one side, roll it up like a jelly roll. (this is when it helps to have the cheese cloth under it.).
- Seal the finishing edge with a bit of water.
- Now lift it carefully and place it into a well greased and floured bundt pan. (this task can be done alone, but helps if you have someone to help you lift the roll.).
- Set pan in a cold oven to continue to rise for 2 1/2 hours or until dough is near the rim of the pan.
- Now bake at 325°F for 1 hour and 15 minutes. If during that time the top begins to get too dark before it's ready, lay a piece of foil over the top.
- Allow it cool, then turn out carefully.
- Serve plain or sprinkle with powdered sugar.
- Refrigerate uneaten portions to maintain freshness. Slices are good cold or warmed in the microwave.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Thickly butter a 6-8 cup gugelhupf pan (or other decorative tube pan).
- Make the sponge: warm the milk over low heat in a small saucepan until it is just lukewarm, about 100°.
- Transfer milk to a small bowl; whisk in yeast.
- Stir in the flour and cover the bowl with plastic wrap; let the sponge rise until very puffy, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, stir together the raisins and rum; let raisins soak in rum while you prepare the dough.
- Make the dough: use an electric stand mixer with paddle attachment-beat the butter with the sugar and salt on medium speed until soft and light, about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in the lemon zest and vanilla.
- Beat in the egg yolks, one at a time, beating smooth after each addition.
- Stop mixer and scrape the sponge into the bowl; beat on lowest speed until incorporated, about 1 minute.
- Drain raisins well, reserving the rum; beat the rum into the dough, then beat in the flour.
- Beat the dough for 2 minutes on lowest speed, then stop the mixer and let dough rest for 10 minutes.
- Beat the dough on medium speed until it is smooth and elastic, about 2 additional minutes.
- Decrease speed to lowest and beat in the raisins and the chopped almonds.
- Scrape the dough into a buttered bowl and turn it over so that the top is buttered.
- Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let dough rise until it just begins to puff, about 20 minutes.
- Prepare mold: scatter the sliced almonds all over the buttered inside of the mold, rotating the mold to cover the buttered surface evenly with almonds.
- Invert to mold to remove any of the almonds that have not stuck to the butter.
- Using a large rubber spatula , carefully scrape the dough into prepared mold-try to avoid disturbing the sliced almonds.
- Cover the mold with a towel or piece of buttered plastic wrap and let the dough rise until it is doubled (if using a 6-cup mold, the risen dough should reach the top of the mold; if you are using an 8-cup mold, the risen dough should reach about ½ inch short of the top).
- About 15 minutes before the gugelhupf is risen, set a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375°.
- Bake the gugelhupf until it is well risen and deep golden, about 40-45 minutes; pick should come out clean.
- Cool gugelhupf in pan on a rack for 10 minutes, then invert it onto the rack, remove the mold and cool completely.
- Serve: use a sharp serrated knife to cut into slices; storage: keep wrapped in plastic.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the taste of your Gugelhupf. Use fresh, flavorful ingredients whenever possible.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a light and airy cake.
- Gradually add the eggs one at a time: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake in a well-greased and floured bundt pan: This will help to prevent the cake from sticking to the pan.
- Let the cake cool completely before glazing or dusting with powdered sugar: This will help to prevent the glaze or powdered sugar from melting.
