Moravian Sugar Cake

"Making Moravian Sugar Cake at home is easier than you might think. This sweet, pillowy cake features a rich dough topped with a buttery brown sugar mixture. With basic ingredients like yeast, milk, and flour, you can create this traditional cake in your own kitchen. The fluffy yeast dough paired with the caramelized sugar topping that forms after it's baked in the oven makes this cake the perfect companion for your morning cup of coffee. Kind of like focaccia bread, the yeast dough is dimpled throughout using your thumbs, allowing a buttery sugar topping to seep into the dough. It's kind of like a cross between a coffee cake and a Kentucky butter cake, so you know it's going to be good.  This recipe uses a simple yeast dough activated by warm water. This helps the dough to rise and gives the cake a fluffy texture. Then, we knead the dough and let it rise to create an airy crumb that is soft as can be."
