Each hostess has her own preferences and tricks. I have homemade candied oranges. Their aroma gives Easter cake a unique taste that you and your loved ones will definitely like.
I'm preparing the steam. Warm up the milk a little so that it is slightly warm. Add yeast and 1 tablespoon of sugar to it. Add a glass of flour, mix. Cover with a towel and put in a warm place. The dough should double in size (this will take about 30 minutes).
Beat 3 eggs with sugar, combine with dough, mix. Add vanilla seeds (or vanilla sugar).
Soften the butter in a water bath. Add cream, stir. Do not heat up too much. Combine the cream with the dough, mix.
Add flour and knead the dough. The dough must be well kneaded, it should not be steep.
Add candied fruits to the dough. Cover the dough with a slightly damp towel, put in a warm place for 2-3 hours. I separate small pieces from the dough and tint with food coloring.
Lightly oil the sides and bottom of the baking dish. Shape the dough into a ball and fill each shape 1/3 full. Let the dough rise for about 15 minutes.
Preheat the stove to 100°C and place the molds in the oven, bake for 10 minutes. Then increase the temperature to 180 ° C, bake until tender for 25-40 minutes. Check for readiness by piercing with a toothpick, if it is dry, the cake is ready.
Ready for frosting. Separate two proteins from the yolks. Beat the whites at low speed until the first foam, add a pinch of salt and beat until a stable pattern. Gradually add powdered sugar. We apply the icing on warm Easter cakes and decorate with berries and candied fruits. Enjoy your meal!
