In a large mixing bowl, combine 500 g of flour, 100 g of sugar, and a pinch of salt.

Add 150 g of room temperature butter, 2 eggs, and the activated yeast mixture to the flour mixture.

Mix until a dough forms and knead on a floured surface until smooth.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a cake or loaf.

Place the shaped dough in a greased pan and let rise again until puffy.

Sprinkle nuts on top before baking.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
