Baba (Polish Coffee Cake)

(This recipe yields 10 servings)
4 cups flour
1 cup milk
1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
15 egg yolks
3 yeast cakes
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp almond

Add salt to egg yolks and beat until lemon-colored. Add lukewarm milk and yeast. Add one half of the four, mix well and let stand until double in bulk.
Add remaining flour, sugar, butter, and flavoring. Knead thoroughly until dough leaves fingers. Let rise until double in bulk.
Punch down and let rise again. Butter a tube mold, sprinkle with bread crumbs and fill with dough one-third full. Let rise about one hour and bake 40 minutes in 350 degree oven.
