Easter cake made with milk with candied fruits and walnuts

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 50 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake Easter cake in milk with candied fruits and walnuts? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Remove the eggs and butter from the refrigerator in advance so that they are at room temperature.

2. STEP 2

   

   Pour warm milk into a bowl, approximately 37-39 degrees; higher temperatures will kill the yeast. Add yeast. Place the bowl in a warm, draft-free place for about 15 minutes. A foamy cap should appear on the surface; if this does not happen, you will need to use other yeast; baking will not work with this one. How to correctly replace different types of yeast can be read in the article about yeast. You will find the link at the end of the recipe.

3. STEP 3

   

   Then add 2 tbsp to the bowl. l. sugar and 3 tbsp. l. flour and stir.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add 3 more tbsp. l. flour into the dough and stir thoroughly with a whisk.

5. STEP 5

   

   Break six eggs at room temperature into a separate bowl. Wash the eggs with soda first, as there may be harmful bacteria on their surface.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add the remaining sugar to the eggs in a bowl and beat with a mixer until smooth.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add soft butter to the egg mixture.

8. STEP 8

   

   Next, add vanilla sugar, turmeric and mix well with a whisk.

9. STEP 9

   

   Pour the well-risen dough into the egg mixture and mix thoroughly until smooth.

10. STEP 10

    

    Then pour the resulting mixture into a large container and begin adding the sifted flour in parts, stirring each time. Remember that you may need less or more flour, just don’t overfill the dough with flour. You can read more about the properties of flour in the article; the link to it is at the end of the recipe.

11. STEP 11

    

    Mix the resulting dough well. It will not be very dense and will remain sticky, but homogeneous.

12. STEP 12

    

    Rinse the raisins thoroughly, dry and sprinkle with flour and roll well in it. If you have dry raisins, you should first pour hot water over them and let them sit for 7-10 minutes.

13. STEP 13

    

    Transfer the raisins to the dough, add 100 g. candied fruits and mix well, distributing them evenly in the dough.

14. STEP 14

    

    Cover the dough with a towel and put it in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, after which knead the dough with your hands directly into the container.

15. STEP 15

    

    Grease the table with vegetable oil and place our dough on it. Knead it on the table with your hands for about 10 minutes, releasing carbon dioxide from it and saturating it with oxygen.

16. STEP 16

    

    The specified amount of ingredients will yield about two kilograms of dough. Distribute it into the prepared forms, use a teaspoon dipped in vegetable oil, and use it to smooth out the uneven dough in the forms. The dough should take up no more than half of the mold (you can even fill it a third - there will be room for the cakes to rise).

17. STEP 17

    

    Place the Easter cake pieces carefully on a baking sheet, cover with a towel and place to proof. After 1-1.5 hours of proofing, very carefully place the baking sheet in an oven preheated to 160°C for about 25 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 150°C and cook for 30 minutes until the cakes are ready. Your time and temperature may be different. You can read more about the operating features of ovens in the article about ovens. The link is at the end of the recipe.

18. STEP 18

    

    Decorate the finished Easter cake with milk and yeast with protein cream. To the white of one egg, add a pinch of citric acid and 50 g. powdered sugar and beat with a mixer until stiff peaks form. Grease the top of the cakes with the resulting cream, decorate with walnuts (or other) nuts, candied fruits, and raisins. After adding the dye to the protein cream that we have left, mix it well and grease the cakes. Decorate with sugar paste, roses, snowflakes and stars.
