Traditional Easter cakes
Regardless of which recipe you choose, there are general, time-tested rules for preparing Easter cakes.
For Easter cakes, use premium flour and be sure to sift it. Yeast can be used either dry or compressed. But the latter are still preferable. The sugar should be fine and the egg yolks should be bright. All this is needed to ensure that the cake turns out rich, soft, and has a beautiful yellow color.
Sometimes vanillin or vanilla sugar, nutmeg, citrus zest or cinnamon are added to the dough. With them, baked goods will be even more fragrant.
Easter cakes cannot be rushed. The dough must rise at least three times: when preparing the dough ( batter), when it is kneaded and when it is laid out in forms.
Easter cakes are baked in special high forms. They need to be generously lubricated with heated, but not liquid, creamy or vegetable oil. The edges or bottom can be covered parchment paper. The forms are filled halfway or one-third with dough.
Easter cakes are baked in a well-heated oven, usually for 1.5–2 hours (depending on size). Sometimes before baking, a wooden stick (splinter) is placed in the center of the cake so that the dough rises and bakes evenly. After an hour, take it out: if the splinter is dry, the cake is ready. If not, put it in the oven for another 30–40 minutes.
The finished Easter cakes are decorated with protein glaze, colored millet and various confectionery toppings.
To prepare protein glaze, beat the cooled egg whites (they are usually left over when preparing the dough) at high speed with powdered sugar: for 1 protein you need ½ cup of powder. Finally add a teaspoon of lemon juice.

Useful tips
A must-have dish for any Easter table is and has always been the Easter cake that is illuminated in the church. For a long time in Rus' they made a lot of dough for Easter cakes, because it was better suited in large quantities. Then, unlike the dough for pies and pies, a lot of eggs, sugar, butter and whipped whites were always put into the dough for Easter cakes. Thanks to these components, the dough turned out to be very rich, and the finished cake could always not go stale for a long time.
Since traditional Easter cakes are prepared using yeast, to activate their work, it is forbidden to overload the dough with baking from the very beginning. That is, the dough is prepared in several batches, gradually introducing eggs, sugar and butter. The dough must be treated very carefully, cherished, wrapped in blankets and protected from drafts.
According to church canons, the dough should be made on the night from Thursday to Friday, the cakes should be baked on Friday afternoon, and the light should be lit on Easter night. They eat Easter cakes all week, right up to Radonitsa. According to the classical tradition, tall cylindrical tin molds are used for baking Easter cakes. You can also use aluminum pans with a volume of no more than 1 liter, as there is a danger that the dough may not bake in modern electric or gas ovens.

Today, Easter cakes are baked for approximately 1.5 - 2 hours, depending on its size. Today there are a great variety of decorations for ready-made Easter cakes: nuts, icing, candied fruits, symbolic inscriptions, multi-colored millet and other finishing agents.

6. Take out the dough, which by that time should have doubled or more, and pour the yolks mashed with sugar into it. Mix everything well.
7. Melt the butter and add it to the dough. Add the whites last.
8. Add the remaining flour, knead the dough to a consistency similar to thick sour cream.
9. Place your dough into a larger pan, sprinkle it with flour, cover with a lid and put in a warm place for 1 hour.
10. Add candied fruits, ground almonds, and squeezed raisins to taste. Mix well and leave to rise for another half hour.
11. Grease baking pans with vegetable oil, place the dough on half of the pan. Leave to rise until the dough reaches the very top.
12. Brush the tops with yolk and bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees. The specific baking time depends on the form in which the cakes are baked and on the oven itself. Half an hour into baking, carefully open the door to see if the tops are burning. If so, use parchment or foil. Then, after another half hour, check the cake for readiness: it should be dense and evenly brown. Check the internal readiness with a wooden skewer, which, when pierced, should remain clean and dry (this indicates readiness).
13. Take out the cake, remove it from the molds and apply the glaze. Here's how to make it: beat the whites of two chilled eggs at high speed, after adding a pinch of salt and slowly adding sugar. Beat until you have a nice glossy glaze.

Simple Easter cake with yeast in the oven
Classic recipe Easter baking It turns out very tasty, fluffy and soft, aromatic.
For the test
- Flour - 560 gr.
- Milk - 170 ml.
- Sugar - 150 gr.
- Butter - 140 gr.
- Eggs - 2 pcs. +2 yolks
- Raisins - 60 gr.

Let's prepare our ingredients. The raisins must first be soaked overnight to soften them. Melt the butter and cool to room temperature.
Dissolve pressed fresh yeast in warm milk (40 degrees), mix thoroughly.
Add half the specified amount of sugar there and gradually, so that there are no lumps, add one and a half cups of flour. Stir thoroughly. Cover the resulting dough with cling film and place it in a warm place to rise.
While the dough is rising, beat 2 whole eggs and 2 yolks (without whites) with vanilla sugar in one container. The consistency of beaten eggs should be like not very thick sour cream, uniformly yellow in color. Pour the beaten eggs into the prepared dough, add a pinch of salt and mix.
Gradually add the remaining flour and melted butter into the resulting mixture, stirring occasionally (it should not be hot). We also send the second part of the sugar there.
Knead the dough, cover it again with film and place in a warm place.
The dough will increase in volume several times. Open it and add raisins, mix again.
Let's prepare the baking dishes. If you have a reusable one, then grease it with oil. Disposable forms do not lubricate. Spread the dough out to about halfway up the pan. Cover with a towel and wait for the dough to rise a third time to the edge of the pan. This is how we put future Easter cakes in the oven.
Bake at 180 degrees for 30-40 minutes, depending on your oven. Make sure the cakes brown evenly.
This is how soft, fragrant and aromatic they turn out. All that remains is to make the glaze for them.
To do this, beat the egg whites remaining after the cooking process with lemon juice and powdered sugar in a blender at high speed. We will get a moderately flowing glossy white mass, which is used to cover the top of the still warm baked goods.
Sprinkle Easter cakes with colorful sprinkles on top. This is such beauty!
Easter cake without yeast with kefir
Not everyone considers yeast a useful and necessary supplement, but everyone wants to get magnificent pastries. How to be? Kefir will help us out here. Thanks to it, the dough also turns out soft and fluffy. IN this recipe no sugar is used. And if you also take healthy whole grains and oatmeal, then such an Easter will be as useful as possible for both children and adults who care about their health.
Prepare kefir cake using our simple recipe. The amount of dough is designed for two small Easter cakes.
We will need:
- 2 eggs

- vanillin and cinnamon to taste
- 0.5 tsp soda
- 100 g raisins
- 5 g milk powder
Preparation:
Pour kefir into a bowl and pour soda into it.
Let's prepare the bulk ingredients. Pour sweetener, vanillin and cinnamon into the flour, mix until smooth.
Next, separate the whites from the yolks. The yolks will go into the dough, and the whites into the glaze. Combine the yolks with kefir and stir. Gradually pour flour into the same container. Stir constantly to avoid lumps.
Place raisins into the resulting dough and mix again.
We put the mixture in baking dishes until it is half full, because the dough will still rise while cooking in the oven.
Place the molds in the oven and bake at 180 degrees for 40-50 minutes.
And while the cakes are baking, prepare the glaze: beat the egg whites at high speed with sweetener and dry milk (this ingredient is optional). Coat the finished Easter cakes with glaze and sprinkle with decorations.
To harden, place the cakes in the oven for another 20 minutes at 100 degrees. This makes the glaze dense and does not spread. Ready!
