Instructions
We prepare all the necessary products for the Easter cake. I must say right away that you will have to tinker. But, in fact, baking such a cake will definitely work out. The main thing is to take a cookie cutter in the shape of a rabbit, with which you can carefully cut out figures from the chocolate cake. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
The first step is to prepare the chocolate dough. Melt the butter and cool. We send eggs into a bowl and add sugar. Beat with a mixer until fluffy, about 5 minutes.
Add melted butter and vanillin to the beaten egg mass. Beat for about a minute more.
Sift the cocoa flour and baking powder into a clean bowl.
Pour the flour mixture into the egg-oil mixture and stir with a spatula.
At the end, pour in milk. We mix. The dough should be thick, but flow well.
Cover the baking sheet (size 27×30 cm) with a non-stick mat. There is no need to lubricate the mat. Pour the dough onto a baking sheet and place it in the preheated oven.
We bake the chocolate cake for about 20 minutes. We check the readiness of the cake with a wooden stick. Let the cake cool completely.
Cut out figurines for the Easter cake from the cooled chocolate crust with a bunny mold.
Preparing a rectangular cake pan. I have a form with a non-stick coating, you do not need to lubricate it, the size of the form is 9x23cm. In the center of the form, lay out the chocolate rabbit figures tightly to each other.
Now we make white dough according to the same principle as chocolate, but with vegetable oil. Beat eggs, protein and sugar with a mixer until fluffy, for about 5 minutes. Mix milk with vegetable oil and pour into a bowl with egg mixture. Add vanillin. Beat again.
Sift flour with baking powder here. We mix.
Pour the white dough into a mold around the rabbit figures, trying to cover them a little with the dough. During the baking process, the dough will rise and cover them completely. We put the dish in the oven and bake the Easter cake at 180 degrees for 45 minutes.
We take out the finished cake from the oven and let it cool down. Then we remove the cake from the mold.
Cut the Easter cake into pieces. Look how handsome he is in section! Various and delicious pastries for you!
