How to bake a lazy person’s yeast cake?
This yeast cake is placed in the oven immediately after being put into the baking pan. We don’t wait for it to rise in the pan. Instead, we put it into a cold – yes, yes – cold – oven and only then turn it on and set the temperature. While the oven is heating up, the cake has time to rise slightly. I made my no-knead yeast cake with fresh blueberries – I arranged them on top of the cake – and with a simple crumble topping. The cake tasted sensational and was absolutely perfect with a cup of tea. You can use any other fruit here or you can just make yeast cake with crumble topping. I hope that thanks to this recipe you will bake yeast cakes more often.
By the way, I also recommend my recipe for wool roll bread, which looks like a ball of wool, or a recipe for a tall and fluffy yeast cake with crumble topping.
P.S. One last small piece of advice regarding yeast dough rising – I recommend placing the bowl with the dough in the oven and setting the heating to about 30 degrees Celsius. In such conditions, the dough rises very quickly and nicely – it’s warm and there are no drafts :)
I also recommend my book “Beata’s Best Bakes” where you will find 100 of my recipes for sweet baked goods :)

How do you make a simple yeast cake without any kneading? All you need is a single bowl! We layer the ingredients in it, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and set it aside in a warm place for a few hours. Do not stir or mix the batter at this point! We just let the yeast do its magic and "work its magic." After a few hours—give the dough at least 2 hours in a warm spot—we mix everything together with a spoon, just briefly until the ingredients are combined. Then, transfer the batter into a baking tin, add fruit if you feel like it, top it with crumble, and bake! Simple? You bet it's simple! :)
