POLISH COFFEE CAKE (MY GRANDMA'S RECIPE!)

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Grate in the lemon rind.
• In a small saucepan on the stove, melt the butter and milk together over medium-low heat. Remove from heat, and allow to cool to about 108°, you don't want to kill your yeast because your milk is too hot. If it is really hot, to speed up the cooling process, I put it in the freezer for a few minutes.
• Using a wooden spoon, begin to stir the milk mixture into the dry ingredients. Once halfway combined, stir in the eggs. Fold everything together until just blended.
• Grease and flour a large baking pan. Pour in the batter, it will be thick, and spread evenly in the pan.
• Cover and allow to rise until it doubles in size, 1-2 hours. I stick mine in the oven with the oven light on, it works pretty quick! (Just be sure not to turn your oven on while it's in there!)
• When it's doubled in size, preheat your oven to 350°. (make sure it's not in there still!)
• To make the crumb topping, aka the best thing ever, in a medium sized bowl, stir together the sugar and flour. Cut the butter in in chunks, and using a large fork, begin to mash the butter into the dry ingredients. After a couple minutes, I tend to just use my hand, its much more efficient, and you get a better crumb.
• Using your hands, while simultaneously squeezing into chunks, spread the crumb topping across the risen cake.
• Pop in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Allow to cool for a few minutes before devouring.
