Ingredients
    1 1/4 cups milk
    1/4 cup butter
    1/3 cup sugar, plus
    1 teaspoon sugar, divided
    1 tablespoon salt
    1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast
    1/4 cup warm water (110 to 115)
    5 1/2 - 6 cups all-purpose flour, divided
    3 eggs, well-beaten
    STREUSEL TOPPING
    1/4 cup sugar
    1/4 cup packed brown sugar
    2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
    1/4 cup butter
    CREAM FILLING
    1/4 cup all-purpose flour
    3/4 cup milk
    3/4 cup butter or 3/4 cup margarine
    3/4 cup sugar
    3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
    3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
Preparation
    Heat milk, butter 1/3 cup sugar and salt; stir until the sugar dissolves. Set aside. Mix yeast, warm water and 1 teaspoon sugar; let stand 10 minutes.
    In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups flour, milk mixture, yeast and eggs; beat until smooth. Add enough of the remaining flour to form a soft dough.
    Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about 6-8 minutes.
    Place dough in a greased bowl, turning one to grease top.
    Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 to 1-1/2 hours.
    Meanwhile, prepare topping.
    Combine sugars, flour and cinnamon in a bowl. Cut butter into dry ingredients; set aside.
    Punch dough down; divide in half. Pat or roll each half to fit a greased 9-in. cake pan.
    With a fork, pierce entire cake top.
    Divide topping and sprinkle over each cake.
    Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
    Bake at 350\u00b0 for 20-25 minutes.
    Remove from pans and cool on wire racks.
    For filling, combine flour and milk in a saucepan; cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens.
    Cool.
    In a mixing bowl, cream remaining ingredients until well-mixed. Add flour mixture and beat until fluffy.
    Cut each cake in half horizontally; spread each with half the filling.
    Refrigerate until ready to serve.
