In a small bowl, mix milk with 2 tablespoons warm water.
Add yeast and whisk gently until it dissolves. Mixture
should foam slightly.
Using an electric mixer with paddle attachment, cream
butter, sugar and salt. Scrape down sides of bowl and
beat in the egg. Alternately add flour and the milk
mixture, scraping down sides of bowl between each
addition. Beat dough on medium speed until it forms a
smooth mass and pulls away from sides of bowl, 7 to 10
minutes.
Press dough into an ungreased 9" X 13" baking dish at
least 2" deep. Cover dish with plastic wrap or clean tea
towel, put in a warm place, and allow to rise until
doubled, 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
Set oven @ 350°F/175°C.
TO PREPARE TOPPING, in a small bowl, mix corn syrup with
2 tablespoons water and the vanilla. Using an electric
mixer with paddle attachment, cream butter, sugar and
salt until light and fluffy, 5 to 7 minutes. Scrape down
sides of bowl and beat in the egg. Alternately add flour
and corn syrup mixture, scraping down sides of bowl
between each addition.
Spoon topping in large dollops over risen cake and use a
spatula to gently spread it in an even layer. Bake for
35 to 45 minutes; cake will rise and fall in waves and
have a golden brown top, but will still be liquid in
center when done. Allow to cool in pan before sprinkling
with confectioners' sugar for serving.
