Easy cake recipe

Description

A simple Easter cake recipe is good not only because even a novice housewife can use it: this dish is also prepared quite quickly for this kind of baking. Moreover, the result pleases everyone who tested it in practice! A simple Easter cake recipe can be slightly complicated, for example, by adding chopped nuts, candied fruits, raisins or other dried fruits to the dough. Spices will not be superfluous either: feel free to use ground ginger, cardamom, saffron and nutmeg. And remember that the oven in which the Easter cake is baked should not be opened during the first 30 minutes, otherwise it will settle.

Cooking

Step 1

Prepare the dough for a simple cake. Heat the water to 35°C. Add yeast and stir until fully dissolved. Pour in 130 g of flour. Knead the dough, cover with a towel and leave in a warm place for 30 minutes.

Step 2

Cut the butter for the cake dough into cubes and melt. Let cool. Beat the eggs with a mixer with salt. Beat the yolks with brown and vanilla sugar until a creamy mass of a homogeneous consistency is obtained. Mix cream, butter, yolk and egg masses.

Step 3

Sift the remaining flour through a fine sieve in a slide on the desktop. Make an indentation at the top. Pour in the risen brew and cream mixture. Knead the dough for a simple cake (it should easily fall behind your hands).

Step 4

Place the resulting dough in a large saucepan, cover with a towel and leave in a warm place for 1 hour. Then punch down and let rise again for an hour.

Step 5

Heat the oven to 180°C. Divide the dough into cake molds no more than 1/2 of the height. Cover with a towel and leave to rise for 30 minutes.

Step 6

Bake the cookies for 40 minutes. Check readiness with a thin wooden skewer. Stick it in the center of the cake and take it out. If it's dry, you're done. Let the cookies cool down. Decorate as desired.
