Quick yeast Easter cake

Quick cake! Participation - 15 minutes. What follows is exciting anticipation! For this cake you just need to be at home! And your direct participation here is about 15 minutes at most. The dough kneads very quickly and easily, does not stick to your hands! And the cake turns out so airy, full of baking and aromas, like our grandmothers, who kneaded and fussed over this, perhaps the most delicious baked goods of the year, for a long, long time.

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking timeCooking time: 3 hr
  1. STEP 1

    STEP 1

    Crumble fresh compressed yeast into a mixing bowl. Add 1 tbsp. sugar and warm milk (all).

  2. STEP 2

    STEP 2

    Mix the yeast and milk well until smooth. Add 4 tbsp. flour (sift from the total amount), stir, cover and leave for half an hour.

  3. STEP 3

    STEP 3

    Pour boiling water over the raisins and leave. It took you 2 minutes (well, 5 if you are a brooding melancholic like me).

  4. STEP 4

    STEP 4

    When the dough has risen, drain the water from the raisins, add zest and vanilla. Mix well. Another 1 minute, including grating the zest.

  5. STEP 5

    STEP 5

    Mix eggs and yolks with sugar and soft butter.

  6. STEP 6

    STEP 6

    Add the dough to the egg mixture. Stir.

  7. STEP 7

    STEP 7

    Add (sieve) half the flour. Stir.

  8. STEP 8

    STEP 8

    Add raisins. Stir. Until this stage, stir conveniently with a whisk, spatula or spoon.

  9. STEP 9

    STEP 9

    add the second half of the flour (sifting is a must) and knead the dough. The dough kneads very easily and does not stick to your hands. The kneading took useful and important 5 minutes.

  10. STEP 10

    STEP 10

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover (preferably with film or two towels - dry and wet) and leave for 2-3 hours. You can go to the store or for a walk, or visit a neighbor (for a minute, as usual), and arrange a quiet hour with the children. Yes, you never know...

  11. STEP 11

    STEP 11

    Punch down the fluffy dough.

  12. STEP 12

    STEP 12

    Divide the dough into 2 parts (or according to the number of molds). This dough is designed for two medium Easter cakes with a diameter of 15 cm.

  13. STEP 13

    STEP 13

    Cover and leave the cakes to rise for half an hour.

  14. STEP 14

    STEP 14

    Make the glaze by mixing and lightly whisking powdered sugar, egg whites and lemon juice.

  15. STEP 15

    STEP 15

    Bake the cakes - for this size you need 35 minutes at 180 degrees. To ensure even baking on all sides, place a bowl of water in the oven. Cool the cakes and brush them with glaze.

  16. STEP 16

    STEP 16

    Decorate.

  17. STEP 17

    STEP 17

    Let the glaze harden, keep it away from the fingers of those who want to try it.

  18. STEP 18

    STEP 18

    What a handsome guy in cross-section.

  19. STEP 19

    STEP 19

    The crumb is a fairy tale. And the hostess too - she prepared this in 15 minutes!
