directions

  • Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan.
  • Warm the milk, sugar and 10 tbsp butter in a small pan until warm to the touch and butter is almost melted. Off heat, add yeast.Let stand until bubbly and foamy.
  • Whisk eggs to break them up. Put flour and salt in a deep bowl and whisk to combine. Add eggs and milk mixture to flour. Stir gently with a spoon or rubber spatula, just until the flour is all moistened. Spread into prepared pan and cover with plastic wrap. (You can refrigerate the batter up to 8 hours at this point.).
  • Preheat oven to 350°F and stand the pan on top of the stove. Let stand 1 hour until risen.
  • When dough has doubled in depth, sprinkle fruit evenly over surface, then sprinkle with sugar. Melt 4 tbsp butter and pour evenly over the surface. Bake 30 minutes. Spin the pan 180° in the oven and reduce the heat to 325°F Bake another 10-15 minutes, until the top is golden brown, and the edges are pulling away from the sides.
  • Make a lemon glaze by whisking the lemon juice into the confectioner's sugar, or a vanilla glaze by whisking the cream and vanilla extract into confectioner's sugar. When smooth, drizzle over kuchen and serve immediately.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a 48 y/o gay Jewish man in the suburbs immediately north of New York City. I'm a general internist, practicing and teaching at a medical college north of NYC. I also earned a Masters in Public Health degree in 2013. After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
