Easter cake in a bread machine with raisins

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 3 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make Easter cake with raisins in a bread machine? Prepare your food. Butter must be of high quality, complying with GOST. Remove it from the refrigerator in advance to allow it to soften. Choose fast-acting yeast, one that is immediately mixed with flour, without prior activation. All products should be at room temperature.

2. STEP 2

   

   Pour boiling water over raisins for 10 minutes. Heat the milk until warm, about 38°C, it should become just warm, not hot - hot milk will kill the living organism yeast.

3. STEP 3

   

   Take a bread machine bucket and install the stirrer blade. In my model, the ingredients for the dough are added in the following way: first, the liquid ingredients go in, then the dry ingredients are added. In other models, the order of bookmarks may differ; see the instructions for your bread maker. Pour warm milk into a bucket, break the eggs.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add soft butter. Add sugar, salt and vanillin.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place the steamed raisins in a sieve and rinse under running water, then place them on a paper towel. Dry the raisins and place them in a bucket.

6. STEP 6

   

   Sift the flour, I do this directly over a bucket, you can sift the flour first over a bowl.

7. STEP 7

   

   Sprinkle yeast on top. Place the bucket in the bread maker. Select the "French roll or bread" program, depending on the model. Weight is 500 grams, I always use a light crust, my bread machine over-fries any baked goods. You look at your model, you can make a medium-rare crust.

8. STEP 8

   

   Turn on the program. First comes the kneading of the dough. I always help with a spatula, scraping the flour from the sides, and check the consistency of the dough. This time mine was very liquid, I added about 4 more tablespoons of flour. The correct dough should come together into a ball and completely move away from the walls. When the dough reaches this condition, close the lid and do not open it any further - the dough will begin to rise.

9. STEP 9

   

   My program lasted about 3 hours, the cake grew very much, almost to the lid. After the end signal, open the lid and leave for 10 minutes. Then take out the bucket and shake out the cake from it. Please note that if the dough consistency is correct, the paddle should remain in the bucket and not get stuck in the product.

10. STEP 10

    

    My cake, as always, was slightly tanned, but this did not affect the taste in any way. Cool the cake and decorate it to your liking. I made the icing from egg white and powder. Bon appetit!

Every year I prepare Easter cakes according to a recipe from an old cookbook that my grandmother used year after year. They always turn out very tasty and fluffy, although they take a lot of time. And then I came across a recipe on the website for Easter cake in a bread machine with raisins. And I thought: why not? And I cooked it. To be honest, this was the first time I used a small bowl for a bread machine. The ingredients were added in the same sequence as described in the recipe. I used premium grade flour, C2 category eggs. Instead of raisins, I added finely chopped prunes. I chose “French” mode. The loaf size is 750 grams (the smallest on my bread machine). The crust color is “medium”. The estimated time was 3 hours 36 minutes. While kneading, I helped the bread maker a little with a spoon. Periodically, I checked the dough by looking under the lid. After proofing, it increased in size well, but did not get out of the bowl. I decided that everything was fine and didn’t disturb the cake anymore. After the bread maker finished its work, I opened the lid and saw that during baking the cake had increased in size and still began to crawl out of the bowl, but nothing came of it. However, it turned out to be a cap like a mushroom. This is the most charming cake I have ever made. The children immediately dubbed it “fungus.” There were no problems taking the cake out of the bowl. It is very soft, tender, fragrant beyond belief! The inside of the cake is soft, porous and, of course, delicious. I am very pleased with the result. And, of course, this recipe will be a lesson to me that you need to check the baked goods in a bread machine not only during kneading, but also during baking. katushafin, thank you very much for the wonderful recipe!

Thank you! Excellent recipe, although the cake came up so that it rested on the lid of the bread machine, it’s 750 grams. And 3 tablespoons of sugar, instead of 4. It turned out very tasty. Bread maker Redmond 1920, baking mode - "Bread". Thanks again!

I liked the recipe, thank you! The Easter cake did not rise above the bucket, just right. My cotton LG is up to 1 kg. The dough turned out airy, fibrous, tasty, melts in your mouth. Nothing burned or fried) The only negative is that it crumbles a lot. I did everything according to the recipe, but I added the raisins after kneading, according to the signal. Thanks for the simple and delicious recipe.
