How to cook Air cake

Step 1

Prepare the dough for the puff pastry. Sift flour and salt into a mixing bowl. Add crumbled yeast, yolks, 20 g each of sugar and soft butter, and vanilla.

Step 2

Warm up drinking water for Easter cake to 30°C. Pour it into the flour mixture and mix with the dough hooks on speed 1 until the mixture is smooth.

Step 3

Then switch the mixer to second speed and add the remaining butter and sugar. Knead the dough for air cake for 8-12 minutes. It should easily separate from the sides of the bowl.

Step 4

Add raisins and candied fruit. Mix with a mixer on the first speed. Transfer the dough for the cake to a bowl, cover with a towel and leave at room temperature for 1 hour.

Step 5

Prepare small molds for Easter cakes. Line them with baking paper and brush with butter. You can sprinkle with flour or semolina (shake off excess).

Step 6

Divide the risen dough into portions and roll into balls. Transfer them to prepared forms, cover with a towel and leave in a warm place for 2 hours.

Step 7

Heat the oven to 160°C. Carefully transfer the molds with the dough onto a baking sheet. Place in oven. Bake air cakes for 30-35 minutes. Let cool slightly, then transfer to a wire rack. Leave until completely cool.
