• Salt – 1 pinch
• Flour – 3-3.5 cups

Instructions

1. Prepare dough. Heat 200 ml of milk, pour into a bowl. Add yeast and sugar to milk. Stir everything well. Sift flour and add to a bowl. Mix everything thoroughly, cover with a towel and put in a warm place for 20-30 minutes so that the dough rises.
2. Separate the yolks from the whites.
3. Add salt and sugar to the yolks. Beat everything well with a mixer. Add vanilla sugar and stir.

   

4. Melt the butter in a saucepan over the lowest heat.
5. Add warm butter, yolks pounded with sugar to the dough. Mix thoroughly.
6. Add 2.5 cups flour to a bowl. Stir with a spoon.
7. Knead a soft and elastic dough with your hands. Knead for at least 5-7 minutes (the longer you knead, the more airy the cakes are). Cover the bowl with a towel. Leave in a warm place for the dough to come up (about 3 hours).
8. The dough came up. Knead the dough again. Add a little more flour (0.5 cups) if necessary. Pour boiling water over raisins and candied fruits for 10 minutes. Throw in a colander, drain. Add to the dough.
9. Mix. Cover the bowl with a towel and place in a warm place (for 2 hours).

   

10. Turn on the oven. Put the dough into paper forms (filling them by 1/3 of the volume). If the molds are metal, grease the molds with vegetable oil, you can sprinkle them with flour or bread crumbs. Leave the molds with the dough in a warm place for 20-30 minutes.

    

11. Place the cakes in the preheated oven on the middle shelf. Bake the Easter cake on the yolks at 180 degrees until tender (about 40 minutes). Decorate ready-made cakes with protein icing (whipped protein), confectionery sprinkles or icing sugar.
