cookies and cake yeast

I have an old receipe that requires cake yeast to be crumbled over dough and worked in.

 

I cannot find cake yeast anywhere, can I use dry yeast.  And what do I have to do with it.  Can I just sprinkle is over the dough and just work in like the cake yeast or do I have to do something to it.  Help
