Blame it on this decadently rich, cake-like brioche
Cakes
This sinfully truly decadent Polish Brioche looks like a regular yellow or pound cake because it is made in a 12 cup bundt pan, but it is instead the most tender, delicious, cake like brioche. It is indeed OUTRAGEOUSLY rich due to the 18 (yes 18) egg yolks that it contains; but it is so worth it. You can freeze the egg whites in ice cubes and use them to make meringues, etc. But even if you end up not using the egg whites, you should still go ahead and make it. You will not regret it, unless of course you are dieting and/or watching your cholesterol. But one slice or two should not be so bad. Also, as the brioche bakes, your house will be filled with a wonderful aroma of (how can I best describe it) a caramely, buttery sweet bread. If you eat this bread and close your eyes, you may think it is store-bought because it is so tender; and oftentimes storebought sweet yeast breads and brioches seem softer/more tender than those made from scratch. But hey, with 18 egg yolks in this brioche, it cannot be anything other than tender. Please do give this a try. <br />This recipe is adapted from a recipe found in okuchnia.pl; it is actually written in Polish but thanks to “google translate” and some questions sent to the author, I was able to get a successful translation of the recipe. Original recipe asks for cake flour; I chose instead all purpose flour and in the same amount. I also added vanilla and orange extract. <br />Author says that they eat it during Easter but I can eat it all year round.
