For best results, use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment for easier mixing. Ensure the milk mixture is lukewarm, not hot, to avoid killing the yeast. If the dough is too sticky to handle, lightly flour your hands before dividing it into the pans. The baking time may vary depending on your oven. Keep an eye on the cakes and adjust accordingly.

Follow The Directions
01
StepBloom the Yeast: In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes.
02
StepPrepare the Milk Mixture: Gently warm the milk in a saucepan over low heat until it just begins to bubble around the edges. Remove from heat and whisk in 1 cup (2 sticks) of butter until melted. Allow the mixture to cool until lukewarm.
03
StepCombine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and 1 1/2 cups of sugar until light and slightly thickened. Stir in the nutmeg, orange extract, vanilla extract, and the bloomed yeast mixture.
04
StepIncorporate Flour and Milk: Gradually add 3 cups of flour and the salt to the egg mixture, stirring until just combined. Gradually add 1/3 of the milk mixture to the batter and combine. Stir in the remaining flour and milk mixture in two alternating additions, being careful not to overmix. The dough will be sticky.
05
StepFirst Rise: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
06
StepMake the Topping: In a separate small bowl, combine the cubed cold butter and 2/3 cups of sugar. Use a pastry blender or your fingertips to cut the butter into the sugar until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Keep chilled until ready to use.
07
StepPreheat and Prepare: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease three 10-inch Bundt pans.
08
StepShape and Add Topping: Divide the dough evenly among the prepared Bundt pans. Sprinkle the topping mixture generously over the dough in each pan.
09
StepBake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cakes are golden brown.
10
StepCool: Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10-15 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
