2 oz. cake yeast substitution
According to Red Star Yeast, 3 envelopes of Active Dry Yeast equals a 2 oz. cake yeast. This would work out to about 6 teaspoons(.66 oz) of Instant Dry Yeast (a little more than 2 and 1/2 envelopes).

Good luck.
Some bake shops will sell
Some bake shops will sell you fresh/ cake yeast, it is quite cheap, and I find it gives a better flavour than the dry yeast, any shop that has a bake house on the premises. qahtan
