How To Make placek swiateczny (holiday bread), mark's

  • Step 1
    Beat the eggs with the sugar for 5 minutes at high speed. Add to the butter by small portions Add vodka, vanilla, and lemon rind, beating constantly. Add the baking powder and flour, beat 5 more minutes until the batter is thick. Mix the nuts, raisins, orange rind and cornstarch separately, then fold into the batter Bake at 350F for 1 hour in a loaf pan that has been buttered and floured or buttered and sprinkled with bread crumbs.
  • Step 2
    Notes: I've tried it both ways, and find the bread crumbs do a better job than flouring the pan.
