But first, we need to find out

What date is Easter this year

The easiest recipe for a delicious Easter cake

The easiest one, because the dough does not need to be kneaded. This method is also called "lazy Easter cakes". The dough is liquid. as for pancakes or fritters. It's important for me. I do not like difficult and tedious recipes for cooking and baking.

The recipe is not very cheap today, but I inherited it from my husband's grandmother, and then it was much cheaper. Easter cakes are unmatched!

Products:

  • half a liter of milk;
  • 100 g pressed yeast;
  • 15 yolks;
  • 150 g margarine;
  • 400 gr. butter;
  • 400 gr. ghee;
  • 1 kilogram of sugar;
  • 2 kg. flour;
  • a pinch of salt;
  • 2 tbsp. tablespoons of vegetable oil;
  • vanillin;
  • 300 gr. shelled walnuts;
  • 300 gr. seedless raisins.

Remove all butter and margarine from the refrigerator in advance so that it is soft.

Flour necessarily sift.

If you are using fresh yeast in briquettes, then put the dough until active bubbles appear. If you use dry yeast, the activation process will be much faster. Dough - 100 gr. dilute yeast in 100 gr. warm milk. Add 1 tablespoon each of sugar and flour. Stir slightly and place in a warm, draft-free place.

Rinse the raisins and soak in water to swell. ...

Mix milk with sugar, add a little flour. Try not to form too much lumps. But then they disperse. Add the yolks (the whites will be used for the glaze), salt, vanillin and butter with margarine. Mix everything thoroughly. Add more flour.

Now, very carefully, pour in the matched brew. It is better to stir it with a wooden or plastic spoon and in one direction. Add all the flour.

To help distribute the raisins in the dough, lightly coat them in flour. Add raisins and nuts to the dough. If you don't like something, then you can do without these additives. Leave the dough for about an hour, covered with a towel.

Grease the cakes for baking cakes well with butter or vegetable oil. Can be covered with baking paper.

I do not have special molds for baking cakes. I use regular cans of various canned food. It is very comfortable. You can bake many batches at once. All of them are of different sizes. Just get ready in advance and don't throw away the suitable container. Just don't cut yourself on the sharp edges.

Fill the jars 3/4 full with dough.

Bake at a temperature of 180 - 200 degrees for 40 - 50 minutes. Leave a small distance between the jars in the oven. If the top burns, and the cakes are still damp, rearrange them lower, reduce the heat slightly, or cover the top with wet paper. Readiness is checked as usual - with a stick. If it is dry, the product is ready. Advice: if this is the first time you bake paski, first put one for the dough. And then use it to check the place in the oven, baking time and temperature. And keep in mind that if your molds are different, then first cakes will be ready in narrower forms.

Shake the finished cakes while still hot from the jars. If they stubbornly do not want to climb out - knock the top edge of the can on the table or dip the can in cold water for 1-2 minutes. We put to cool the pastes taken out of the mold.

When our cakes have cooled down, pour them with icing and sprinkle with the purchased sprinkling. If you do not have a store-bought glaze, we will make it yourself. Beat the remaining proteins with a mixer with 1 cup of powdered sugar and citric acid on the tip of a knife. The mixture should keep its shape, not spread. If you wish, you can put the already spread cakes in the oven for 7 - 10 minutes, so that the glaze dries over very low heat.

Easter cake with kneading dough

This recipe is also from my grandmother. but from another.

Products:

  • 1 kg. 300 gr. flour;
  • 400 gr. Sahara;
  • 400 gr. milk;
  • 10 - 12 eggs;
  • 200 gr. butter;
  • 250 g raisins;
  • 50 gr. pressed yeast;
  • a pinch of salt;
  • vanillin;
  • vegetable oil for kneading dough;
  • walnuts optional.

We put the dough as in the first recipe. Soak the raisins, let dry and lightly roll in flour.

Separate the whites from the yolks. Mix the yolks with sugar, sifted flour. Add softened butter, salt and vanillin. We put the dough that has already come up. Mix gently. Then beat the whites into a foam and add them carefully to the dough. Mix them from bottom to top.

Leave the dough to rise for about 1.5 hours. We knead during this time 2 times.

Grease the table abundantly with vegetable oil and begin to knead the dough. The secret here is this: the longer you do this, the better the pasks will turn out. Ideally, as grandmother did, knead the dough for an hour and a half. I personally am not capable of such feats. I keep going until I think that's enough. I think you can use it here. She can probably handle the batch. But the dough will have to be put there in batches, it is quite heavy.

At the same stage, add raisins and nuts.

Roll a piece of dough into a sausage, connect the ends and put such a bagel in a container prepared as described in the first recipe. Let the dough rise in jars or turn on the oven at 40 degrees and put them there for a while. Try not to shake the jars.

Everything else is according to the first recipe.

Viennese Easter cake dough

You will probably be laughing, but this is also my grandmother's recipe. This dough is also suitable for pies and pies.

Products:

  • 1 liter of milk;
  • 10 eggs;
  • 300 gr. butter;
  • 200 gr. creamy margarine (I don't know if there is one now);
  • 400 gr sour cream;
  • 1.5 kg. Sahara;
  • 150 g pressed yeast;
  • 300 gr. raisins;
  • nuts optional;
  • 2 tbsp. tablespoons of vinegar for mixing;
  • vanillin.

We put the dough as in the previous recipes. We do everything else the same way.

Knead for an hour and a half, adding vinegar. Only we do not fill the jars with a bagel, but simply put the dough and let it come up. We bake as described above.

Chocolate paste made from cottage cheese without baking

Not quite ordinary, but very tasty paska. Especially for those who love chocolate.

Products:

  • 500 gr. cottage cheese;
  • a glass of sugar;
  • 100 g butter;
  • 4 tbsp. spoons of sour cream;
  • a pinch of salt;
  • 3 tbsp. tablespoons of cocoa powder;
  • chocolate for watering;
  • vanillin.

You will also need a special form for such cakes. But they are for sale.

Whisk soft butter until white. Add cocoa, sugar. vanillin and salt. Mix everything until smooth.

Cottage cheese must be grated through a sieve or using an immersion sieve. Add sour cream to it. Mix everything too until smooth. Add in small portions to the first mixture, stirring well.

Spread the form with gauze in 3 - 4 layers, put the mass there. Press the form with some kind of oppression. Leave in the refrigerator for a day.

Then free from gauze, put on a dish, sprinkle with grated chocolate. Glaze can be made. Melt dark chocolate in a water bath. Or add white to it, it will turn out beautifully.

Curd pasta stuffed with poppy seeds without baking

It is also called "royal".

Products:

  • a kilogram of cottage cheese;
  • 5 eggs;
  • 400 gr. sour cream;
  • 200 gr. butter;
  • a glass with a slide of sugar;
  • 300 gr. ready-made poppy filling;
  • vanillin.

Process the cottage cheese as in the previous recipe.

The main thing is to follow our rules and observe proportions, and your Sunday table will have a surprisingly fluffy and airy pastry with a unique aroma of orange, spicy vanilla and a subtle hint of rum.

So what you need to know:

1. Eggs, butter, sour cream should be of the best quality and very fresh.
2. Before adding candied fruits, dried berries or raisins to the dough, soak them in cognac or rum, the taste of the cake will become truly divine.
3. Butter dough for cakes is very capricious, it is afraid of shocks, temperature changes and drafts, therefore it is advisable to let the dough stand in the oven, if possible, turn on the backlight - it will give a constant temperature.
4. As a spice, vanilla seeds are most often used and, much less often, cardamom and nutmeg. Vanilla can be substituted for the more readily available vanillin or vanilla sugar.
5. To make the dough not only fragrant, but also acquire an appetizing golden color, add a little saffron to the dough. We do not recommend that you buy ground saffron, it is often counterfeited. Turmeric can be used as a substitute for saffron.
6. Easter cakes are baked in tall, special forms: tin or silicone. The forms must first be greased or laid out with oiled parchment.

  • Butter - 100 g
  • Sugar - 100 g

Preparation:

Crumble the yeast, cover it with warm water, let stand for 1-2 minutes.

Then stir until the yeast is completely dissolved.

Add three tablespoons of flour to the yeast solution, a whisper of sugar, stir until smooth.

You will have a liquid yeast starter culture. Cover the bowl and leave it warm for 20 minutes.

While the yeast is activated and rising, we take the cottage cheese, pour milk into it and interrupt it with a blender so that there are no lumps left.

The cottage cheese should have a consistency like sour cream, then the cake will turn out to be very tender, without curd lumps.

Add chicken eggs, salt, sugar, melted but not hot butter to the curd mass.

And with the same blender, stir again until smooth.

Add the foamed yeast mash to the curd mass and stir.

Add the sifted flour in stages and knead the dough.

The dough will gradually thicken.

When it becomes impossible to stir it with a spoon, you can proceed to manual kneading.

It will take about 10-15 minutes to knead the dough. We pull it out, turn it over, mnem, we do not regret it.

Even after adding all the flour according to the recipe, the dough should remain sticky, soft and fluffy.

During kneading, at the end, add the already prepared, steamed raisins, knead for a couple of minutes and you're done!

Cover the finished dough and let it stand for 2 hours in a warm place to rise. It should double its volume.

Knead the risen dough. We prepare the forms by greasing them with oil.

Separate small pieces from the dough, round them for beauty and place them in cake molds.

We fill the forms with dough no more than 1/3, because the dough will still rise!

Try to keep the top of the slices smooth, then during baking you will get neat hats, without protruding raisins.

We put the forms in the heat for another hour and a half to get up. These cakes can already be greased with egg yolk and sent to the oven.

We bake at 180 degrees for 30 minutes, small, as in the photo. If you have a larger form, then it will be baked accordingly longer.

Large cakes are baked for about an hour.

Leave the finished cakes to cool in the form for 15-20 minutes, then they will come out easily.

Let them cool completely and garnish with a protein frosting cap. How to do it, see the first recipe.

Choux pastry always surprises with its softness, it does not stale for a long time and tastes incomparable.

We suggest you cook such beautiful custard cakes that will definitely decorate your table.

Ingredients:

  • Flour - 350-400 g
  • Cream 10-20% - 200 ml
  • Egg yolks - 6 pcs.
  • Butter - 100 g
  • Sugar - 100 g
  • Salt - 1/2 tsp
  • Dry yeast - 6 g (fresh 15-20 g)
  • Dried fruits - half a glass
  • Vanilla - 1 tsp
  • Cardamom - 1/2 tsp

Preparation:

Pour boiling water over the raisins or other dried fruits in advance to make them soft enough.

Take 30 g of cream, heat it slightly and add yeast to it. Stir until dissolved.

Separate two heaped tablespoons from the bulk of the flour. Bring the remaining cream to a boil.

Combine flour and boiled cream and grind well without lumps.

Cool to 40 degrees (so that the hand is not hot to touch) and add the yeast solution to this choux pastry.

Stir everything together, cover with plastic wrap and leave in a warm place until it doubles in size.

You can determine the readiness of the dough in this way: first, the dough actively grows and tends upward, but then the moment comes when it begins to settle - it means that it is ready.

Our dough took about 45 minutes.

Mix remaining flour with salt and cardamom.

Beat the yolks with sugar with a blender, add vanilla and soft butter there.

The yeast dough stood for 45 minutes, it has already begun to settle and it is all so pimply and airy.

Add to it the egg mixture we just made and, stirring occasionally, start adding flour, gradually.

Put the remaining flour on the table and continue stirring it into the dough.

We stir for a long time and thoroughly, all the flour should go into the dough.

We knead and mnem for 10 minutes.

As a result, the dough is homogeneous, soft, but does not stick to your hands.

Grease a bowl with butter, round the dough and cover with plastic wrap.

Leave warm until doubled in size. For a given amount of dough - 1 hour and 20 minutes.

If you want a beautiful and unusual cake, then divide the dough into five identical pieces.

Cover them with plastic wrap and let stand for 10 minutes. Then we start cooking.

Roll each of the pieces into a flat cake, brush with warm butter, lay on top of the dried fruit and overlap one on top of the other, as in the photo.

Starting at the edge, roll the tortillas into one large sausage, holding the edges together.

Cut this "roll" in half.

We will get two such pink-shaped dough blanks.

Place them in oiled molds.

Let them rest for 40-45 minutes, the dough rises again. And such lush blanks can be sent to the oven.

We bake at 170 degrees for 40-55 minutes, depending on your oven and the volume of the cakes.

We check the readiness with a wooden stick.

We pierce in an inconspicuous place, if the stick remains dry and there are no traces of dough on it - it's done!

Hint: if the top of the cakes is already starting to burn, but inside they are still damp, then cover the top with foil.

When they are cooked, let cool and remove from the mold. Sprinkle with powdered sugar on top and you're done!

The softest, lush and very fragrant symbol of Easter on your table!

  • Eggs - 2 pcs. +2 yolks
  • Raisins - 60 gr.
  • Yeast - 30 gr.
  • Vanilla sugar - 8 gr.
  • Salt - a pinch

For glaze

  • Egg whites - 2 pcs.
  • Powdered sugar - 140 gr.
  • Lemon juice - 1 table. a spoon.

We prepare our ingredients. Raisins must be pre-soaked overnight to soften. Melt the butter and cool to room temperature.

In warm milk (40 degrees) we dissolve pressed fresh yeast, mix thoroughly.

Pour half the specified amount of sugar there and gradually, so that there are no lumps, one and a half glasses of flour. Stir thoroughly. We cover the resulting dough with cling film and put in a warm place so that it rises.

While the dough is rising, beat in one container 2 whole eggs and 2 yolks (without proteins) with vanilla sugar. In consistency, beaten eggs should be like a not very thick sour cream of a uniformly yellow color. Pour the beaten eggs into the prepared dough, put a pinch of salt and mix.

In the resulting mixture, gradually, while stirring, add the remaining flour and melted butter (it should not be hot). We also send the second part of the sugar there.

Knead the dough, cover it with foil again and put it in a warm place.

The dough will increase in volume several times. Let's open it and add the raisins, mix again.

Let's prepare the baking dish. If you have a reusable one, lubricate it with oil. We do not grease disposable forms. We spread the dough to about half the form. Cover with a towel and wait for the dough to come up to the edge of the mold for the third time. This is how we put the future cakes in the oven.

We bake at 180 degrees for 30-40 minutes, depending on your oven. Make sure that the cakes are evenly browned.

This is how they get soft, fragrant and aromatic. It remains only to make icing for them.

To do this, beat the egg whites remaining after the cooking process with lemon juice and powdered sugar with a blender at high speed. We will get a moderately fluid glossy white mass, which is covered on top of the still warm baked goods.

Sprinkle the Easter cakes on top with multi-colored powders. Here is such a beauty!

Easter cake without yeast on kefir

Not everyone considers yeast a useful and necessary addition, but everyone wants to get fluffy baked goods. How to be? Here kefir will help us out. Thanks to him, the dough also turns out to be soft and fluffy. No sugar is used in this recipe. And if you also take healthy whole grain and oat flour, then this Easter will be most useful for both children and adults who care about their health.

Make kefir cake with our simple recipe. The amount of dough is designed for two small Easter cakes.

We need:

  • 2 eggs
  • 300 ml of kefir
  • 280 g flour (can be oatmeal or whole grain)
  • 2 bags of natural sweetener (stevia)
  • vanillin and cinnamon to taste
  • 0.5 tsp soda
  • 100 g raisins
  • 5 g milk powder

Preparation:

Pour kefir into a bowl and add soda to it.

Let's prepare free-flowing ingredients. Pour sweetener, vanillin and cinnamon into the flour, mix until smooth.

Next, we separate the whites from the yolks. The yolks will go to the dough, and the whites will go to the glaze. Combine the yolks with kefir and stir. Gradually pour flour into the same container. Stir constantly to avoid lumps.

Place the raisins in the resulting dough and mix again.

Put the mass in baking dishes up to half, because the dough will still rise during cooking in the oven.

We place the molds in the oven and bake at 180 degrees for 40-50 minutes.

And while the cakes are baking, we prepare the glaze: whisk the egg whites at high speed with a sweetener and milk powder (this ingredient is optional). We coat the finished Easter cakes with glaze and sprinkle with decorations.

To secure, stir the cakes for another 20 minutes in the oven at 100 degrees. From this, the glaze becomes dense and does not spread. Ready!

Here is such a tasty and healthy Easter.

We should get this kind of dough after 12 hours of infusion:

Vanilla, salt, cognac, raisins, two yolks and flour are sent to a container with dough. The dough is kneaded thoroughly. And put in a warm place for 1.5-2 hours.

At this time, we prepare baking dishes, grease them with oil.

Who can resist such beauty? And the aroma is just fabulous!

Step 2. While the dough is coming, let's take care of the eggs: separate the whites from the yolks. Grind the yolks with sugar, beat the whites into a stable foam.

Step 3. We begin to add the remaining components to the dough that has come up: salt, melted butter, yolks grated with sugar, vanillin, and also alternately introduce flour (leave only 100 g) and whipped proteins. We knead all this well.

Step 4. It's time to further raise our dough. We will do this in 2 stages to make the cake lush. First, set for 30 minutes in the Multi-cook mode at 40 degrees, after this time, knead the dough. And again we put it at the same temperature, but for an hour.

Step 8. We take the cake out on a towel, and then cool it on the basket of a double boiler (so that there is air circulation and the cake does not get damp). Apply lemon-sugar glaze on the cooled cake, if you use protein glaze, then it must be applied to a warm cake. Decorate the top with pastry sprinkles.

Happy Easter to you!

Hello dear culinary connoisseurs! One of the most important holidays of the Orthodox Church is approaching - Bright Easter. I am sure that each of us associates it with fragrant pastries, which must be consecrated without fail in order to join the sacred event. By tradition, Easter cake is baked in the oven, and the top is covered with a glaze made of sugar and egg whites. Our family has its own proven recipe, according to which my grandmother used to cook.

Since yeast-based Easter cake starts, allow enough time to cook to allow the dough to come up twice. Yes - it cooks faster, but, in my opinion, it turns out not so lush and rich. More like a cupcake.

The filling gives a special piquancy to the festive treat. And now you don't have to limit yourself to traditional raisins. Candied fruits, nuts, dried cherries, dried apricots, prunes, pieces of chocolate, citrus peel and coconut flakes are used.

It is only important not to overdo it with the filling, so that later you do not wonder why the dough falls off, and the baked goods turn out to be wet. Today I will share with you a "secret" family recipe for Easter cake and, for a change, a few more interesting options for Easter baked goods.

My grandmother's promised recipe for treats is suitable for beginners who have not yet had time to "make friends" with yeast dough. No special efforts are required for cooking. But, as I already warned, it will take a lot of time - about 5 hours. I start cooking early in the morning so that the process does not drag out until late at night.

Ingredients:

For dough:

  • 50 g fresh yeast;
  • 0.5 cups of milk;
  • 1 tbsp flour;
  • 1 tsp Sahara.

For the test:

  • 8 chicken yolks;
  • 2 eggs;
  • 950 g wheat flour;
  • 200 g butter;
  • 200 g sour cream;
  • 2 glasses of sugar;
  • 2 handfuls of raisins;
  • 4 tablespoons sunflower oil;
  • 0.5 tsp salt.

For fondant:

  • 2 egg whites;
  • 150 g icing sugar;
  • 50 g of colored confectionery sprinkles.

Step by step cooking:

1. To prepare the dough, take a deep container with a volume of at least 4 liters. Pour warmed milk into it, add crumbled fresh yeast, sugar and flour.

2. Stir the ingredients with a spatula, cover the container with a clean towel. Place the bowl in a warm place for 20-30 minutes so that the yeast "comes to life" and the mass increases in volume by 2-3 times.

3. Separate the whites, you will need them for the icing. And beat in 2 more eggs to the yolks and mix with a whisk.

4. When the batter (dough) is suitable, add whipped yolks, sour cream and sugar to the mass.

5. Mix in 600 g flour in portions, sifting it directly over the mass through a fine sieve. Stir everything periodically with a wooden spatula. The finished dough should be smooth and smooth, free of lumps.

6. Cover the bowl with the dough with a towel and heat for 1.5-2 hours. During this time, the mass should increase in volume by 2 times.

7. After 2 hours, add butter, a pinch of salt, raisins and 300 g flour to the dough. Add flour in portions, sifting through a sieve and stirring into the mass.

8. Finish mixing by hand and leave to rise again until the volume is doubled.

9. Fill the paper forms ⅓ with dough and place on a baking sheet. The workpieces should stand at room temperature for another 10-15 minutes.

10. Bake future cakes in a preheated oven for 1 hour at 180 ° C.

If you use tins of different sizes for baking, keep in mind that small pastries will bake faster.

11. For the icing, beat 2 egg whites with a mixer until stable peaks. While whisking, add the powdered sugar.

Free the cooled baked goods from paper forms, brush with protein glaze and decorate with pastry sprinkles.

Grandma is always on holiday. She put colored eggs side by side and served them to the table.

Oven cakes baked in small paper tins

For those who don't like tedious baking with yeast, I have prepared an interesting version of the soda-based dough. It serves as an excellent baking powder, so the delicacy will be tall and fluffy 🙂 From this amount of dough, you will get 2 medium Easter cakes or 4 small ones.

Take from the products:

  • 0.5 cups flour;
  • 2 eggs;
  • 100 g butter;
  • 0.5 cups potato starch;
  • 100 g of cottage cheese;
  • 0.5 cups raisins;
  • 0.5 cups of sugar;
  • a pinch of salt;
  • 0.5 tsp baking soda.

How to cook:

1. Soak the raisins in boiling water or pour over them in boiling water to make them softer and more tender. After 10 minutes, drain the water and rinse the berries under running water.

2. Beat 2 eggs into a bowl and add sugar. Beat with a mixer until the mixture turns white.

3. Add the curd and stir again with the whisk of a mixer.

4. Pour in the starch, stir until smooth.

5. Combine the melted butter with the egg-starch mixture.

6. Add baking soda. There is no need to quench with vinegar, since there is sour curd in the dough.

7. At the end, salt and sift flour into the future dough.

8. Stir the mixture with a spoon - it will be thick but pliable. At the very end, stir in the raisins prepared in advance.

9. Spread the dough on paper tins, filling them about halfway.

10. How long to bake the products, the experience of using your oven will tell you - all devices are prepared in different ways. On average, you should focus on 40-45 minutes at 180 ° C.

It is most convenient to check the readiness with a wooden skewer - when removed from the dough, it must be dry.

The finished treat will remain to cool and decorate as you wish - with fondant, icing or powdered sugar.

I like to bake cottage cheese baked goods. It turns out to be rich and incredibly tasty! I described it in a separate article. Give it a try and write your reviews.
