There is a mistake in a recipe!
In addition to 100 grams of water add 200 grams of milk 3% fat not less.
The weight of the liquids in the recipe should be 300 grams.
About the flour, the intention is to 60% multi-purpose flour and 40% bread flour.

I don't have that kind of pan, but would a angel food cake pan work?

Its such an interesting recipe and the raises are very long it should have wonderful flavours.

I usually also add some raisins to it

Yum-good job

Eva, you can use this pan.
I baked in 22 cc diameter kugelhupf pan.
Yes, you can add raisins, nuts or candied citrus peels.
Even better to add soaked raisins in brandy or liqueur good.

Plus, who changed the k to g?

The german saying Gugelhupf , but because it's the French-Alsacien version, more toward brioche dough I'd rather say kugelhopf.

But I will not be trivial.

Thanks for the compliments

When I get some time (redoing a room right now) will try this, and the raisins sound wonderful as well, love them soaked in rum. I have a great cookie recipe for rum soaked raisin cookies. I make them for Xmas, they always disappear so they must be great tasting.

There are many versions of this cake.
My version that she the Best version to me, is a kind of brioche dough.  

Dough rich in butter and eggs, but steel airy and light.

Proper ratio between the multi-purpose flour and bread flour, accurate kneading times.

Tastes great as a result of the long raises times. 

The wonderful caramel coating  that the butter and the brown sugar creates, plus the crunchy coating of white sugar.

All these create a wonderful cake

Yes, there are versions of kugelhupf who have similar texture to a  pound cake.

to learn something new - I know only the pound cake Gugelhupfs/Kugelhopfs. I'll definitely try your version, Hezi - it looks very appetizing.

Okay, no problem
The syrup is composed of the same amount of sugar and water, that's why we cold it 1:1 syrup. but I would suggest you to slightly Increase the amount of sugar for a little more thick syrup.

That is, if we're talking about the amount of 50 grams of water you will add about 60 grams of sugar
 The preparation is very simple,
Bring water, sugar and citrus peel (without the white part!, Is very bitter) until a slightly boil, with an emphasis on slight. Once boiling cook for only another 30-40 seconds, remove from the heat and brush the cake.

good luck!

Hezi, I just put the recipe in my program, and have a few questions:

Do you mean zest of 1 small lemon? 

I assume the 20 g dry yeast is not instant or rapid rise yeast, but what's here called active dry yeast (100% fresh yeast = 50% active dry yeast = 40% instant yeast (for enriched doughs)?

How long is the baking time?

Please enlighten me,

Karin

Hi kerin,

The intention is to active dry yeast, not rapid yeast.

For the baking time, bake about 30-40 minutes, And of course check the color of the cake and the degree of hardness, the color should be dark brown and crust should be hard

And dont forget to bake in the bottom third of oven, because it's high cake
