Instructions

1. Knead a yeast dough from the flour, eggs, butter, lard, yeast, sugar, vanilla sugar and the lukewarm milk. Cover and let the yeast dough rise in a warm place for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, knead the dough well and let rise for another 20 minutes.
2. Brush a baking sheet with butter. Roll out 2/3 of the dough and place on the baking sheet. Spread the applesauce on the yeast dough and distribute the nuts, vanilla sugar, cinnamon and cloves over the applesauce. If you like, you can add orange peel, lemon peel and raisins.
3. Roll out the rest of the yeast dough to the size of a baking sheet. If desired, ornaments or lattices can be cut out of the dough with a lattice cutter. Then place the dough on top of the filling and press on the sides and brush with the egg yolk.
4. Bake the farmer`s cake for 15-20 minutes (until the surface is golden brown) at 190 ° C. Traditionally, the farmer`s cake is a round cake with a diameter of approx. 50 cm.
