5. Easter cake from Olga Syutkina

INGREDIENTS

1.5-2 kg flour
0.5 l milk

3 bags of dry yeast (11 g each)
Salt, on the tip of a teaspoon
vanilla and other food flavorings
5 eggs
400 g sugar
raisins, quantity of your choice

Beat eggs and yolks with a mixer, and leave a bowl of whites - they will be needed for glaze. Pour 125 ml of milk into a saucepan, add pre-softened butter and bring to a boil. Pour in the remaining milk. It will be just the right temperature. Add 400 g of sugar and salt, stir until completely dissolved. Add beaten eggs, vanilla. You can put other spices - cardamom, nutmeg, lemon zest, saffron. Pour the resulting mixture into a bowl with flour and mix thoroughly - the consistency of the dough will be like liquid sour cream. This is a dough, and it should be suitable from 40 minutes to 1 hour. But now the moment is coming when only intuition will tell you how much flour should be added to the dough. Add flour in portions, knead first with a spoon, then with your hands. The dough should not be very dense, but not liquid. It is problematic to indicate the exact amount of flour, since its moisture content is different. Usually go almost 2 kg, or a little less. You need to knead for a very long time - 20-30 minutes. It is long kneading that is the main rule of cooking. yeast dough. The product from it will turn out to be airy, beautiful, and will not harden for a long time. Put the dough in a warm place and let it rise 2 times (after an hour from the start of fermentation, make a punch). Then add the raisins, mix again and let rise for the 3rd time. In the meantime, prepare the molds - they should be warm. Grease the molds vegetable oil, put a cut out circle of baking paper on the bottom. Turn the risen dough out onto a work surface, knead lightly and place into molds so that it takes up 1/3 of the volume. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Let the cookies rise until they double in size. Small cakes will be baked for 30-35 minutes, large ones - 45-50 minutes. Check the readiness with a wooden stick: if the stick came out of the cake dry, it is ready. While cakes are in the oven, beat egg whites with sugar until stiff. When ready, take the cookies out of the oven. First, leave them in the form for 10 minutes and only then take them out on a towel. Lubricate the already almost cooled cakes with icing, otherwise it will dry out, turn into a hard crust and fall off. Decoration - to your taste!

GIRLS!

I bake Easter cakes every year, without recipes.
Today I came across this good selection and decided to bake a particularly delicious cake this year.
And since the recipes are all so good, I share with you.
Who needs it, take it!

For several years in a row, I have been preparing Easter cakes according to a recipe that has been tested over the years. But quite recently, having come across very flattering reviews of a cooking method unfamiliar to me, I decided that I should definitely try to cook Easter cakes in this way. And I was not mistaken! Easter cakes turned out just extraordinary: soft, airy, juicy, fragrant!! While these are the most delicious Easter cakes that I had to try!

So, we prepare the following ingredients: milk, flour, sugar, good butter (do not skimp on it, this is very important), homemade chicken eggs, pear essence (can be replaced with vanilla sugar), dry yeast, raisins, dried apricots and candied fruits.

Pour 0.5 l of milk into a deep bowl and warm it up slightly (I do this in the microwave). It should not be hot, but slightly warm. Add 2 tsp to milk. dry yeast, do not mix and leave the whole thing for 10 minutes.

After the specified time, mix the milk with yeast, they should already be completely dissolved. Pour 0.5 kg of flour into the milk.

Mix thoroughly. Opara is ready!

We put the dough in a warm place, covered with a clean towel. Keep in mind that it will rise so that your dough does not run away. The dough should rise twice, it will take about 30-60 minutes. Take the butter out of the fridge so it has time to soften.

When you see that the dough has come up, separate the yolks from the whites.

Add 200-300 grams of sugar to the yolks.

Beat the yolks with sugar into a strong foam.

Add 2 drops of essence or vanilla sugar to the beaten yolks.

Whip egg whites to stiff peaks.

Pour the beaten yolks into the batter.

Softened butter is also sent to the dough.

Mix everything well so that the oil is evenly distributed throughout the volume.

It's time for the proteins. Pour them into the dough.

For the preparation of Easter cakes, use deep and large dishes. If you don’t have it (like me), then you just need to divide the resulting dough into 2 containers.

Now add the rest of the flour. Add little by little because you may not need all the flour.

We knead the dough. It should not be steep, but it should not stick to your hands either. Knead the dough for at least half an hour.

Put the dough back in a warm place, covered with a towel, for 60 minutes.

Pour raisins and dried apricots with boiling water for 10 minutes. Then we thoroughly wash the dried fruits and leave to drain. Cut the dried apricots into small cubes.

In the risen dough, add raisins, dried apricots and candied fruits.

Knead the dough again so that all the filling is evenly distributed over it.

Let the dough rise for half an hour. Then we fill the molds 1/3 with dough or, if you want the Easter cakes to come out high, then a little before reaching the middle of the mold. We leave the dough already in the forms for another half an hour-40 minutes. We turn on the oven.

When the dough in the forms is suitable, we send the Easter cakes to the oven, heated to 100 degrees, for 10 minutes.

Then, after 10 minutes, increase the temperature to 180 degrees and bake Easter cakes for another 20-30 minutes. We check readiness with a match or a toothpick.

A lot of Easter cakes come out of these products.

Cooking icing for cookies. To do this, beat 2 egg whites to stiff peaks. Then add 50 grams of sugar to them and beat again. We cover the still hot cakes with icing and decorate to taste.

Happy Resurrection of Christ to you and bon appetit!

It is better to buy country milk or with a high percentage of fat, butter and eggs are also better to buy on the market. Remove all food from the refrigerator in advance so that they warm up to room temperature, and sift the flour several times. Well, shall we start?

Easter cake with milk - recipe with photo.
Ingredients:
- premium wheat flour - 2 kg (or slightly less);
- fresh fat milk - 0.5 liters;
- fresh pressed yeast - 100 gr;
- eggs - 10 pcs;
- butter - 300 gr;
- sugar - 4 cups (faceted glass);
- raisins - 250 gr;
- candied fruits - 150 gr;
- ground cardamom - 1 tsp;
- vanilla sugar - 3 sachets;
- ground nutmeg - 1.5 tsp;
- salt - 0.5 tsp;
- vegetable oil - 3-4 tbsp. l;
- icing sugar for icing - 150 gr;
- colored sprinkles for decorating Easter cakes.

Recipe with photo step by step:





Let's start with the preparation of the brew. It is better to cook it in a large saucepan or bowl so that the dough has room to grow. Take half a liter of milk, heat it warmer than room temperature. Crumble the yeast, add 2 tbsp. spoons of sugar.





Combine milk with yeast and sugar, mix everything well. Sift in yeast with milk 2.5-3 cups of flour.





Stir until a thick dough is obtained, the consistency of which resembles dough for pancakes. You need to stir thoroughly, kneading all the lumps. We leave the dough to come up in a warm place, and so that a crust does not form on top, cover it with a thick terry towel or lid.





The dough will rise very quickly. In just 15-20 minutes, it will increase by 2-3 times, become loose and perforated.







To prepare the dough, you need to separate the eggs into yolk and protein. Pour two egg whites into a separate bowl with a lid and put in the refrigerator - they will be needed for protein glaze. Add a pinch of salt to the rest of the proteins, beat with a mixer until you get a thick snow-white mass, airy and quite dense.





Mix egg yolks and 2 cups sugar in a separate bowl.





Rub with a whisk or spoon until the mass becomes light. From bright orange, it will become light yellow or almost white (depending on the brightness of the yolks).





We shift the ripened dough into a large basin. Cut into soft butter.







Then we pour egg yolks pounded with sugar. Mix everything with a spoon or spatula.





Add the rest of the sugar to the dough, flavor with spices and vanilla sugar. In addition to nutmeg and cardamom, you can add ground cinnamon or a couple pinches of turmeric for color.





Whipped egg whites add to the dough gradually, gently mixing each portion with the dough. After adding proteins, it will become airy, as if saturated with air bubbles.





Pour in the sifted flour. What is important: add flour in parts. We immediately added a kilogram and begin to knead the dough. As you knead, it will become clear how much more flour to add. Perhaps it will take less - all flour is of different quality, and the amount of flour depends on the size of the eggs.





Knead the dough for the Easter cake for a long time, trying to make it homogeneous, plastic, very soft, but not sticky. To make it easier to knead, from time to time we grease our hands with vegetable oil and pour a little oil on the table. When you feel air bubbles burst under your palms, and the dough becomes soft, supple, it means that it is ready and you can send it for proofing.





Cover the kneaded dough with a lid and put in heat for 2.5-3 hours. During the proofing time, it should increase at least twice, but the better the dough fits, the more magnificent the Easter cakes will be. If the dough does not fit well, put it in an oven preheated to +45 degrees and, as necessary, heat the oven to this temperature. Or move the bowl with the dough into a large container filled with warm water.





Punch down the risen dough. We steam the raisins in a water bath, dry them. Together with candied fruit, add to the dough.





Knead the dough again, distributing raisins and candied fruits throughout the volume. Let's rest for half an hour.





In the meantime, prepare the forms. Grease jars of olives, condensed milk, peas with vegetable oil or melted lard, sprinkle the walls with flour. At the bottom we put a circle of parchment, greased with oil. We separate pieces of the desired size from the dough, lay them out in molds. The dough should take from 1/3 to half the volume of the form. Let's go again. Turn on the oven, heat up to 200 degrees.





When the dough in the molds doubles in size, put the cakes in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. We bake the first 15 minutes at a temperature of 200 degrees, then lower it to 180 and bake the Easter cakes until cooked. The surest way to test your baked goods is to pierce them at the highest point with a wooden skewer. It should come out dry with no sticky dough. We immediately take out the finished cakes from the molds and cool on a towel.





Easter cake in milk with candied fruits, raisins and spices is ready, it remains to decorate. Protein glaze it's very easy to cook. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt, add powdered sugar and beat until firm white peaks. Get a thick glaze for lubrication of Easter cakes. Lubricate the cooled Easter cakes with icing, sprinkle with decorative colored crumbs or confectionery sprinkles.

In the recipe for Easter cake with milk proposed today, some stages of the cooking process are minimized. For example, the dough for Easter cake is prepared in a bread machine.

Easter cake with milk and vegetable oil

milk cake recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 glass of milk
  • 3 small eggs or 2 large ones
  • 6 art. l. vegetable oil,
  • 6 art. l. Sahara,
  • 0.5 tsp salt,
  • 4 cups flour (250 ml without a slide),
  • 1.5 tsp dry yeast.

Cooking process:

My dough for Easter cake with milk was kneaded in a bread machine, but manual kneading is not fundamentally different, except that you need to spend more effort on it. The dough should be kneaded so that it stretches behind the hands with long threads and does not tear - this indicates a well-developed gluten.


We give the dough for Easter cakes in a bread machine to distance until its volume increases by 2.5-3 times.


Lightly mix with flour and transfer to molds, trying to get a more or less smooth surface.


The dough should now rest in the molds to restore the volume that was lost during mixing, and even more. When it rises well, carefully grease the top of the Easter cakes with sweet water.


We put the forms in a moderately heated oven (100-120 C) and at this temperature we wait for the Easter cakes to finally grow up. After 15-20 minutes, increase the temperature to 150 C, cover the Easter cakes with foil and bake until cooked for another 30-40 minutes. Keep in mind that there are a lot of eggs in the dough and this will burn the crust quickly.


Ready Easter cakes in milk are completely cooled before decorating.
