Description
This old recipe we got from my grandmother of a friend. Cakes turn out "heavy and wet", if you like such, you here. They are very tasty, but the preparation is quite tedious and time consuming. The dough can go a long time, for 3 -5 hours. It all depends on the yeast. Prescription yeast is alive, but the bags have proven better. Once, before there were cases, when the dough is almost never approached (I had bad luck with yeast), but the cakes were still delicious.

Cooking
All measure separately, sift the flour. Beat the yolks with sugar.
Dissolve the yeast in warm milk, add a little sugar and a pinch of salt. After 5 minutes they will rise.
Melt butter (to make it warm, but not hot).
Mix milk with yeast and whipped egg yolks. Beat well.
Beat egg whites, add them to the mass, stir.
Then portions add the 6 cups of flour, alternating with the oil.
All mix well, put in a warm place, cover with a towel. It looks like the "original" dough.
The dough should go twice.
When the dough is ready in half, add the vanilla and vmese the remaining flour.
Long knead. In the dough you can add turmeric if you want it to be more yellow (if you put in the dough village eggs with bright yolks). Cover with a towel and leave to rise.
When the dough is ready in 2 times, add the soaked raisins and nuts (optional).
Put the dough in moulds greased with butter, let rise. The form to fill to 2/3. Paper forms can not be lubricated.
Bake at medium temperature (180 degrees) for 40-50 minutes or until dark Golden brown, depending on oven. I have baked a lot longer this oven. The oven when baking do not open, and the dough will settle. If baked two batches, then before you put the second batch, the oven to cool. Here is the finished cake, even without a "cap".
The cap can be made of the remaining two proteins, whisking them with sugar as for meringue. You can make a hat out of the icing (icing sugar plus water).
