Yes, you can. Typical dry yeast packing includes 3 packets of yeast. Each one is equivalent to one cake of yeast. Be careful to follow the package directions for the appropriate temperature of the liquid that will make the yeast active. Older recipes sometimes refer to a "large" cake of yeast; that is equivalent to all three packets.

∙ 14y agocake yeast is fresh, comes in a little cake about 2x2 ( I do not know the weight). Dry yeast , which most people use, comes in envelope, kind of powdery. Fleishmans is the brand I am thinking of. Both are in the dairy isle. Can be interchanged if you know the amount needed in a recipe.
