Easter cake: 5 most delicious and ordinary recipes

All housewives are divided into two groups: those who agree to stay up at night and enthusiastically knead the dough for Easter cake, and those who are too lazy and don’t know how, and go to the store to buy celebratory baked goods. Naturally, homemade Easter cake is much tastier than store-bought. But, looking again at the list of goods and the complex methods of transforming these lists into a fragrant, fluffy dough, almost everyone gives up. Easter baking, especially traditional recipes, is not for everyone. That’s why simplified recipes for Easter cakes were invented, which use dry yeast and even less baking.

Here, please, to help you, are 5 of the most delicious and ordinary recipes, and all you need is self-confidence and a positive attitude, it’s not for nothing that in the old days they said “What’s the mood - so is the cake!”

Our website has written more than once about how to prepare for making Easter cakes. Today’s review will only contain recipes, and they are more than ordinary. Naturally, you won’t put nearly as little baked goods into a “frisky” Easter cake dough as into one that is prepared almost overnight. But you can soak raisins and dried cherries in rum or cognac. Instead of regular vanillin, you can add a mixture of cardamom, nutmeg and cloves to make the smell dizzy. If the smell of vanillin is more familiar to you, buy real vanilla pods - you will understand the difference between store-bought “chemicals” and true aromatic vanilla. Do not substitute margarine for real butter. Buy homemade chicken eggs. Take Easter baking seriously, since you only make it once a year.

So, you decided to bake Easter cake, and 5 of the most delicious and ordinary recipes are waiting for your warm hands!

After that, add the washed raisins, stir and wait until the dough rises again. Fill the greased molds ⅓ full with the finished dough and leave it like that for some time so that the dough rises and fills the molds. Bake the cakes in an oven preheated to 150ºC until ready. Meanwhile, prepare the glaze. To do this, beat the whites with sugar until stable peaks form. Cover the hot cakes with the prepared glaze and decorate with multi-colored pieces of marmalade, chopped nuts or ready-made store-bought sprinkles.

flour, 1 tbsp.
sugar, 1 tsp.

Production:
Pour a little warm milk into a 0.5 liter jar, add 2 tsp. sugar and yeast, stir and place the dough in a warm space so that it rises. Sift flour into a wide container, but not all of it, but about 8 cups. In a separate bowl, dilute separately mashed eggs with sugar, salt, vegetable oil and butter in milk. Pour the mixture into the flour sifted in advance, then the dough and add the raisins. Knead the dough, adding the rest of the flour evenly. You will get a lot of dough, enough to make several Easter cakes. Place the dough in greased pans and bake in an oven preheated to 180ºC until done. Cool the baked Easter cakes, pour over glaze made from 1 egg white and 1 tbsp. sugar, whipped with a mixer. Decorate the cakes as you wish.

Kulich "Resurrection"

Ingredients:
For the dough:
3 tbsp.
flour, 1 tbsp.
warm milk, 200 g butter,
1 tbsp.
sugar, 2 tsp.
dry yeast, ½ tbsp.
raisins, vanillin - to taste.
For glaze:
3 egg whites,
1 tbsp. Sahara.

Preparation:
In the evening, place in an enamel pan, without stirring, yeast, butter cut into pieces, sugar (gourmets can increase the amount of sugar by adding half more to the glass of sugar indicated in the recipe) and washed raisins. Regarding the last resort, I would like to give advice: take dark raisins for this baking. When it sits overnight (that is, in the dark) , the dough will turn out to be a very pleasant creamy color. Pour a glass of warm milk over everything, cover with a clean towel and leave until the morning. In the morning, add flour and vanillin to this mixture to taste. Knead the dough well and place it in greased molds, filling them halfway. Let the dough stand until it doubles in volume. Now put the cake in the oven and bake at 200ºC until done. From time to time, check the readiness of the baked goods using a wood stick. Coat the finished cake with glaze and decorate with sprinkles.

2 tbsp.
l. dry saffron, diluted in a small amount of water, 0.5 tbsp. raisins

Production:
Beat eggs with sugar, add melted butter, milk, spices and flour mixed with dry yeast to the mixture. Place the mixture overnight (that is, in the dark) in a warm space. During this period of time, beat the risen dough a couple of times. It doesn't have to be cool. Grease baking pans with butter and sprinkle with semolina or breadcrumbs.
