Easter cake with whipped egg whites and dried fruits soaked in rum

This is a fairly simple recipe for Easter cake that does not require any extra effort, but with a very decent result. The crumb has good moisture and friability, and dried fruits soaked in rum add spice to the Easter cake. The amount of dough is enough for two rather large Easter cakes.

How to cook Easter cake with whipped egg whites and dried fruits soaked in rum

Step 1

Easter cake with whipped egg whites and dried fruits soaked in rum

I'm preparing the steam. Mix milk, flour and yeast in a mixer bowl, cover with cling film and leave for about an hour. If the kitchen is hot, then the dough will be ready in 40 minutes. By the time the dough is ready, beat the whites in a separate bowl until a strong foam. In another bowl

Step 2

Add yolks mixed with sugar, extract, honey and salt to the dough, mix. Then gently fold in the beaten egg whites, mixing with a spatula from the bottom up. Add butter. At this stage, I already knead the dough in the mixer using the hook attachment. Add flour and spices, knead the dough. It will be quite oily.

Step 3

Cover the bowl with cling film, cover with a towel and leave in a warm place for an hour and a half. The dough will double in size from its original size.

Step 4

After the right time, mix dried fruits and lemon zest into the dough. Try to distribute them evenly in the dough. Divide the dough into two parts and shaping them into balls, put them in two paper forms for Easter cakes. Cover with cling film and leave to rise for another forty minutes. Or until the moment when the dough does not reach 1 cm from the edge of the form.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 170 degrees. Bake Easter cakes for about 40 minutes, but keep an eye on it. I bake for half an hour in the middle of the oven, and for the remaining 10 minutes. I put the cakes on the bottom shelf. Take out the cookies and let them cool.

Step 6

Beat the protein with powdered sugar into a thick mass. Then dip the top of the cake right into it and twist. Garnish with chopped pistachios. I also decorated with homemade gingerbread, which I baked and painted myself.

Easter cake with whipped egg whites and dried fruits soaked in rum - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use orange juice, apple juice, or even tea as a non-alcoholic alternative to rum for soaking dried fruits. Each option will add a unique flavor to your Easter cake.
Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 1 month.
Yes, substitute the regular flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Ensure the blend contains xanthan gum or add 1 tsp per cup of flour to help with texture.
For a vegetarian alternative, try using aquafaba (chickpea water) whipped to stiff peaks as a replacement for egg whites in both the cake and icing.
Insert a skewer into the center of the cake; if it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, it's done. The cake should also sound hollow when tapped lightly.
Yes, you can reduce the sugar by up to 25% without significantly affecting the texture. The dried fruits will still provide natural sweetness.
Serve slices at room temperature with a cup of tea or coffee. For a special touch, add a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of honey.
Absolutely! Divide the dough into muffin tins or small paper molds and reduce the baking time to 20-25 minutes, checking for doneness with a skewer.
Ensure not to overbake the cake. You can also brush the baked cake with simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water) while it's still warm to add moisture.
Yes, chopped almonds, walnuts, or pecans make excellent alternatives. Toast them lightly for extra flavor before sprinkling on top.
