Easter cake on dry yeast from Alexey

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   We put the sourdough. In warm milk (30-40 degrees Celsius), add a tablespoon of sugar and two tablespoons of flour, mix and put yeast. Cover with cling film and put away in a warm place for 30 minutes.

2. Step 2:

   

   While the sourdough is suitable, we separate the whites from the yolks, put one protein in the refrigerator (we will need it for the glaze). Beat the yolks with the remaining sugar and vanilla sugar (we also leave 50 grams of sugar for the glaze) and separately beat the whites with a pinch of salt to a thick foam.

3. Step 3:

   

   Add the beaten yolks, vegetable oil, melted butter, proteins and flour to the dough, mix well. Cover and put away in a warm place for two hours. The dough should double in size. While the dough is rising, soak the raisins in water.

4. Step 4:

   

   Squeeze the raisins from the water and add them to the dough. We lay out the forms, filling the dough for 2/3.

6. Step 5:

   

   Cover with a towel and let the dough stand for another hour.

7. Step 6:

   

   Put in a preheated 180 degree Celsius oven for 40 minutes. We check the readiness with a wooden skewer or toothpick. After piercing, the skewer should remain dry. If during the cooking process the top of the cake will burn, then it will be possible to cover it with baking paper.

8. Step 7:

   

   While the cakes are being baked, we prepare the glaze. Whisk the protein with sugar and put it in the refrigerator.

9. Step 8:

   

   We take the cakes out of the oven and spread the glaze on the hot ones. I also sprinkled pastry sprinkles. The Easter cake is ready. Thank you for being with me, reading the recipe and watching my video. Bye to everyone and Happy Easter Day.
