Easter cakes with creamy margarine

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 7 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   Prepare the products: heat the milk, remove the eggs and margarine from the refrigerator, rinse and dry the raisins.

2. STEP 2

   

   Make the dough: dissolve yeast, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 4 cups of sifted flour in warm milk. Cover with a towel and leave for 1-1.5 hours in a warm place.

3. STEP 3

   

   Carefully separate the yolks, one at a time, from the whites. Place the whites in the refrigerator. I divided the egg whites into two parts because 3 egg whites are enough to make a protein glaze for this amount of cake.

4. STEP 4

   

   Grind the yolks with sugar.

5. STEP 5

   

   As soon as the dough begins to settle, grind margarine (soft) with some of the remaining flour and salt, pour in cognac, yolk mixture, dough and begin kneading the dough, gradually adding flour.

6. STEP 6

   

   Knead the dough directly on the table so that it does not stick to your hands, add raisins. Cover with a towel and place in a warm place, let rise 2 times.

7. STEP 7

   

   Fill the molds about a third with dough, let them rest (I put them on the stove with the oven on - this way the cakes rise faster.

8. STEP 8

   

   As soon as the dough in the molds has increased in volume, place in the oven and bake over medium heat for 30-40 minutes, depending on the size of the molds and how quickly the cakes brown. My second baking sheet with Easter cakes baked much faster, although the oven was turned on in advance.

9. STEP 9

   

   Remove the cakes from the oven and place them on their sides to rest. I spread a blanket on the table, parchment on it, and lay out the cakes. So they lie until they cool completely.

10. STEP 10

    

    Remove the whites from the refrigerator and beat with a pinch of salt, add sugar, beat again.

11. STEP 11

    

    Remove the paper from the cakes and cover them with glaze; I simply dip them in a container with egg white.

12. STEP 12

    

    Easter cakes are ready.

13. STEP 13

    

    All that remains is to decorate them!

Check mark, gorgeous Easter cakes! But I can give you some advice... It’s better to bake Easter cakes with butter.
