Ingredients

  • 1/2 stick butter
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 1/8 teaspoon active dry yeast (1/2 a package)
  • 1/4 c . warm water (100-110 degrees)

For Topping:

  • 1/2 stick butter
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 cup flour

For Glaze:

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/4 cup milk

Instructions

  • Beat butter and sugar until fluffy and well-mixed. Add egg and beat until incorporated completely.
  • Add flour alternately with milk and vanilla, mixing well in between each addition.
  • Dissolve yeast in warm water and let sit for at least 5 minutes until mixture is foamy on top. Add water/yeast mixture to the original mixture and be sure to blend together well.
  • Cover and let rise in a warm place until double in bulk, about 1 hour.
  • Once it's risen, add to a well-greased 8x8 baking dish. Dough will be very soft and gooey.
  • Combine all ingredients for the topping, using your hands to make little pieces with the butter. Sprinkle the topping evenly to the dough. Cover and let rise again for 30 minutes more.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
  • To make glaze, combine all ingredients together and mix well with a fork. Drizzle over warm cake after it has rested for about 10 minutes.
  • Cut into squares and enjoy!
