Easter Cake

This is a yeast-risen cake that is based on our family's Easter Bread. I have never made it, but found it on the back of a very old index card of my grandmother's. It looks to be an easier version of the bread (#165701). The instructions are vague, but I'm going to do the best I can. Times are estimates and I have no idea how much this makes.
