Let's start cooking Easter cakes right after breakfast. First, take out the oil so that it has time to soften. Then we start to prepare the dough. Heat the milk slightly over low heat. It should be warm, but not hot - about body temperature (check with a clean finger), in too hot yeast will die and the dough will not rise!
Take a large bowl for the dough - take it with a large margin, since the dough will still fit. Pour milk and yeast into a bowl and add half of the flour (in this case, 1 kilogram).
Cover the bowl with the dough with a towel and put it in a warm place. The dough should double in volume. This takes between 40 minutes and 1 hour, depending on the room temperature. Now we have time to wash and wipe the cake molds, do household chores, drink tea.
When the dough rises, mix everything well.
Whisk egg yolks with salt, vanilla, cardamom. Add sugar little by little and continue to beat until the yolks are slightly white.
Cover the bowl with a towel again and put it in a warm place. The dough should double in volume again. Now it will take more time - from 1.5 to 3 hours. You can have time to cook lunch and maybe even have lunch!
At the same time, you need to wash the raisins, peel them of sticks and let them dry.
Checking the dough. Oh, it really went up very much! It has a wonderful yellowish color and an amazing scent!
Leave the cakes to come up in the molds until the dough rises 3/4 of the mold height.
(Here, those who made a full portion of the dough have some difficulties - after all, such a number of Easter cakes will not fit into every oven at the same time! There are several possibilities:
Those who bake half or quarter portion will not have such problems).
So the dough has filled 3/4 of the mold. Preheat the oven to 160-180 degrees and bake the cakes for about an hour. In no case do we open the oven before the cakes are browned, otherwise the dough may fall off from the temperature drop!
We check the readiness of the cakes by piercing them in several places with a long wooden knitting needle. If the dough does not stick to the spoke, the cakes are ready!
Cool them down and decorate with glaze. Ready-made cakes are stored in a sealed container or in a bag, without staleness, up to a week!
Here is a day in pleasant worries and imperceptibly came to an end!
You will need to start cooking in advance, since the most time is needed to prepare the raisins. It should be soaked in rum or cognac for 24 hours. During this time, it will be sufficiently saturated with a fragrant alcoholic drink, slightly swell and, ultimately, will give Easter cakes just a magical smell and taste.
A day later, when the raisins have already lain enough in the cognac, you can start the main process. Begin to prepare the dough with dough. To do this, the yeast is dissolved in warm milk, 250 g of flour and a quarter of a glass of sugar are immediately added there. The dough is thoroughly mixed and sent to a warm place. In about half an hour, it will double and you can proceed to the next stage.
The butter must be melted, for this it is convenient to use the microwave. Then warm oil is mixed with vegetable oil, sugar residues and yolks. This substance must be whipped to obtain a rather voluminous "cream", which immediately joins the prepared dough together with lemon zest and vanilla. It is enough to mix the dough slightly with a spatula, since in just a couple of minutes you need to add protein and salt foam, which is prepared in a separate bowl.
Finally, flour is added and the dough is kneaded by hand for about 10 minutes. The crumpled dough for yeast cakes should be put in a warm place for an hour, where it rises again.
Raisins are added last, squeezed out to remove excess alcohol, and rolled in flour. The dough with raisins is kneaded by hands again and sent to a warm place for 30 minutes, after which it will be laid out in baking tins.
The form is filled in 1/3 of the total volume. If tin molds are used, they should be oiled from the inside, or even better lined with oiled parchment.
The dough in the tins should stand and grow, filling almost the entire volume, after which the yeast cakes with raisins are sent to the preheated oven. They are cooked in the oven for 40 minutes at a temperature of 180 degrees.
Hot cakes are immediately coated with glaze.
