PLACEK
A delicious coffee cake my mom makes every holiday and which my relatives love. My family tends to prefer the coffeecake without the nutmeg, so you might want to try it with and without.

Steps:
- Put raisins in a bowl and pour in enough water to cover; set aside until raisins begin to plump, at least 15 minutes.
- Dissolve yeast in warm water in a bowl. Let stand until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
- Heat milk and 1/2 cup butter together in a saucepan over medium-high heat until milk is heated just below boiling, about 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and cool scalded milk to lukewarm temperature.
- Beat 1 cup sugar, eggs, salt, nutmeg, and vanilla extract together in a bowl; add milk mixture and yeast mixture and stir until just combined. Drain raisins and stir into sugar mixture. Beat flour, 2 cups at a time, into sugar mixture, beating well after each addition until dough is well mixed. Set bowl in a warm area of the kitchen, cover with a clean towel, and allow dough to double in size, about 2 hours.
- Grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans.
- Beat dough down to release air and pour into the prepared loaf pans.
- Mix 1 cup sugar, 1 cup flour, and 1 tablespoon butter together in a bowl using 2 knives in a scissor-like fashion until crumbly; sprinkle over dough. Allow dough to double in size, 30 to 45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 310 degrees F (154 degrees C).
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of a loaf comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Remove loaves from pans and cool on a wire rack.

Steps:
- Heat milk in a small saucepan until it reaches 110 degrees. Remove from heat; stir in yeast and 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar until completely dissolved. Let stand until foamy, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Transfer yeast mixture to a stainless steel bowl. Add 2 cups flour and stir to combine. Spray a piece of parchment paper with cooking spray and cover dough. Cover parchment with a kitchen towel and let rise until doubled in size, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together 1 1/2 sticks butter, 1 1/4 cups sugar, orange zest, eggs, and 2 cups flour.
- Change mixer attachment to a dough hook and add yeast mixture to mixer bowl. Mix together on low. With the mixer running, slowly add 2 cups flour and raisins. Butter a large bowl and add dough. Spray a piece of parchment paper with cooking spray and cover dough. Let rise until doubled, 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, use a fork to mix together remaining 2 cups flour, 1 stick butter, and 1 cup sugar until crumbly.
- Butter three 9-by-5-by-3-inch (8-cup) loaf pans and divide dough evenly between them; top each with crumbs. Spray a piece of parchment paper with cooking spray and cover dough; let rise until rounded over the top.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Transfer placek to oven and bake until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool for 1 hour in pan before removing. Store at room temperature, up to 1 week.
GRANDMA'S PLACEK
Placek (plah-sek) in Polish just means cake, but placek around back home (and probably other cities with a high Polish population) refers to a sweet yeast bread topped with sugary crumble, with golden raisins served on Easter. You hardly see placek, which is a shame! This bread can also be wrapped well and frozen, then taken out as necessary for eating and giving away, meaning it can be made ahead of time! Placek is the kind of bread that begs to be spread with butter - it's not like a moist sour cream coffee cake. It has a drier crumb, making it an even better partner to coffee or tea.

- Prep Ovens and Pans. Preheat your oven for 350 degrees Fahrenheit (about 177 degrees Celsius). Make sure that the oven you are using is wide/deep enough to fit the sheet pan you have selected, as well as tall enough for the loaf pans you have chosen.
- Make the Crumbs. To a large bowl, add the flour, sugar, butter (cut the butter into small chunks to make mixing easier), Crisco, and vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Batter Ingredients. In a new large bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Using a whisk, mix the dry ingredients together until they are fully incorporated, meaning that you should not be able to distinguish any of the dry ingredients from each other after they are mixed.
- Add Wet Ingredients to the Dry Ingredients. After the dry ingredients are combined, add the wet ingredients to the bowl: the eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla extract.
- Assemble the Cakes in the Pans. Pour the cake batter evenly throughout all the loaf pans, using a spatula to scrape as much batter as possible out of the bowl to avoid wastage.
- Bake, Serve, and Enjoy! Put the filled loaf pans on a sheet pan, then place the sheet pan in the oven. Bake the loaves for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
