French Sugar Cake

Make the starter: mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast together and let it sit for 10 minutes.

Then add 2 eggs, vanilla sugar, and softened butter. Mix thoroughly.

Add flour. The dough will be sticky to the touch.

Grease the pan and spread the dough evenly throughout.

Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise for an hour.

Once the dough has risen, use the back of a wooden spoon to make shallow indentations across the surface.

Combine sugar and softened butter for the topping.

Sprinkle this mixture generously over the entire surface of the cake.

Bake in the oven for 20 minutes at 350°F.

Remove the cake and while still hot, immediately pour cream generously over it.
