Option 1: Classic recipe for butter cake

As soon as Easter cakes are not prepared. What ingredients are not added to recipes? But it is important to adhere to the main rules. Firstly, it is important to add the bulk of the sugar at the end. If you do this at the stage of forming the dough, the yeast will “die”. Secondly, it is better to leave the dough to proof at least two, or even three times. Thus, the butter cake will turn out exceptionally fluffy and tender. Let's start with the classics.

Ingredients:

  • 10 grams of yeast granules;
  • 105 grams of white sugar;
  • a pinch of salt (in the dough);
  • 395 grams of flour;
  • egg;
  • 145 grams of milk;
  • 65 grams of raisins;
  • 25 grams of butter;
  • vanilla to taste.

Step-by-step recipe for butter cake

Now heat the milk in the microwave or directly on the stove in a saucepan. The recommended liquid temperature is 37-38 degrees.

Pour milk into dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly (without lumps) with a whisk.

Leave on the stove or radiator for a third of an hour. During this time, the yeast will begin to “play.”

Now add the softened egg to the slightly increased mixture. butter and another glass of flour.

Knead the sticky but relatively strong mass. Leave a second time in the same place for 20 minutes. At the same time, steam the raisins in a bowl of boiling water.

After a third of an hour, return the bowl of dough to the table. Knead the well-risen dough. Add the remaining sugar (60 g) and vanilla.

Adding flour, using gentle movements last time knead the dough. At the same time, it is important not to overwhelm him. At the same stage, add the squeezed raisins.

Grease cylindrical metal molds with oil. Place pieces of dough inside, pressing lightly so that the mass fills the entire space.

Place the buns on a wire rack in an oven preheated to 140 degrees. Close the door.

Continue the proofing process for 15-16 minutes. Then increase the temperature to 190 degrees.

Cooking holiday baking takes the same amount of time. After turning off the stove and cooling the cakes for a while, remove them from the mold. Decorate the surface with glaze and add multi-colored sugar sprinkles.

Check readiness baked goods possible in two ways. Firstly, by color. It should be a uniform brown (from light to dark as desired). Secondly, it is recommended to pierce the cake with a skewer. If the surface remains completely dry, you're done.

Option 2: Quick recipe for butter cake

Quick recipe will be little different from the classic one. Unless we insist the dough only twice. Moreover, the latter will take place in the oven.

Ingredients:

  • two thirds of a glass of fresh milk;
  • 10 grams of dry yeast;
  • 100-105 grams of sugar;
  • salt in the dough;
  • three full glasses of flour;
  • large egg;
  • 25 grams of butter;
  • 60-65 grams of dry raisins;
  • vanillin.

Then mix sugar (30-35 grams), a spoonful of granulated yeast and fine salt using a fork in a deep bowl.

Enter warm milk. Bring the mixture to a homogeneous (no clots) consistency.

Leave for 19-20 minutes under a damp towel. Meanwhile, place the washed raisins in a small bowl. Immediately pour boiling water over. Cover.

After the specified time has passed, carefully (with several movements) mix the slightly increased dough.

At the next stage, pour in the melted butter and beat in a large egg.

Continuing the mixing process, sift the flour and add sugar (65-70 g) with vanilla. Also squeeze the moisture out of the raisins and add the berries inside.

Actively, but not for long, replace the mass. It is acceptable for it to stick to your hands a little.

Pour just a little oil into the baking pans for butter cakes, which will protect them from burning.

Distribute the dough pieces evenly inside. Press down lightly. Transfer to preheated oven. Temperature - 140 degrees.

Bake for 15 minutes, then increase the heat to 190 degrees. Continue the process. After a third of an hour, turn off and judge. Spread with glaze and decorate with traditional sprinkles.

By skipping one proofing, we can save about half an hour. However, for the rest you will have to adhere to culinary rules, otherwise the cakes will not turn out.

Option 3: Butter cakes made with juice and candied cherries

Want to infuse your cake with deep berry flavors? Then include it in the recipe Cherry juice. And add the candied fruits themselves instead of raisins. It will turn out incredibly delicious!

Ingredients:

  • half a glass of cherry juice;
  • three glasses of wheat flour;
  • half a glass of sugar;
  • 65 grams of candied cherries;
  • 35 grams of butter;
  • two chicken eggs;
  • a small packet of yeast;
  • fine salt in the dough;

Step 3: Pour in warm cherry juice. Stir until the yeast clumps disappear and the sugar and salt dissolve.

Only then add the sifted flour (at this stage - a glass). Replace the dough. Leave, covered, in a warm place (near the burner or in the sun).

Also add candied cherries (be sure to be pitted!). Adding, or better yet sifting, flour, knead the dough - thick, slightly sticking to your hands and surface.

Coat the inside of the Easter cake molds with oil (can be refined).

Divide the dough into several identical pieces. Place each one in a mold. Transfer to the oven, where you have previously installed a rack.

Turn on 140 degrees. Leave butter cakes Rest for 25 minutes.

After the specified time, increase the temperature to 190 degrees. Bake for another 15-18 minutes. As always, cool the baked goods and decorate with icing and sprinkles.

Due to the fact that we use both candied cherries and juice, the flavor of this berry will be pronounced. What will make the cakes special and different from traditional ones. If you're not afraid to experiment with Easter baking, be sure to try this option.

Option 4: Butter cake on yolks with raisins and dried apricots

Once upon a time, Easter cakes were made only with yolks. Today, as a rule, eggs are added whole. But we decided to offer the first option. And along with the raisins, add aromatic and slightly sour dried apricots.

Ingredients:

  • 45 grams of dried apricots;
  • 45 grams of raisins;
  • vanillin;
  • three glasses (full) of flour;
  • three yolks;

While kneading the homogeneous mixture, sift wheat flour(about a glass). Leave the dough warm under the film.

After 21 minutes, add three egg yolks. Also add butter (preferably melted in a water bath).

Immediately sprinkle with vanilla and remaining sugar. While mixing, sift in two more cups of flour.

As soon as the mass begins to “get stronger,” add dried apricots and raisins. It is important to squeeze out both ingredients, and also finely chop the dried apricots.

After distributing the berries in the dough, divide them into several parts. Place each one in a metal or paper form. It is better to lubricate the first one with oil.

Place the butter cakes in the oven. At 140 degrees, let the baked goods rise.

After 19 minutes, increase the heat to 190 degrees. Cook Easter baked goods for the same amount of time. After checking the uniform baking with a skewer, turn off the stove.

After cooling slightly, remove all the cakes using a towel. Post on flat dish. Cover the top with powdered sugar icing. Immediately cover with powder. When the decoration has hardened, cover with a slightly damp towel to prevent rapid drying.

Option 5: Butter cake with condensed milk

Since the recipe for any butter cake contains both milk and sugar, we suggest replacing (albeit partially) these ingredients with condensed milk. Have you tried these Easter baked goods? It's time to do it!

Ingredients:

  • a can of condensed milk;
  • a packet of yeast (dry);
  • salt in dough;
  • a third of a glass of water;
  • two eggs (size - medium);

Mix with a fork until completely smooth. Then sift the wheat flour (a glass will be enough).

Leave the mixed dough in a warm place. At the same time, cover the dishes with film so that the mixture does not weather and dust does not get inside.

After 22-23 minutes, mix the slightly increased mass with a fork. Gently beat in the chicken eggs.

Add soft (preferably softened) butter. Pour condensed milk from a can. Mix well.

Sift the remaining wheat flour. At the same stage, add raisins pre-steamed in a bowl (without liquid).

With wet hands, knead the sweet mass. Add some anti-stick oil to the cylindrical molds.

With wet hands, divide the dough into several pieces. Send each one inside. Easy to pin down.

Bake all the butter cakes at the same time. First at 140 degrees, which will take 23 minutes, and then at 190 degrees for 15-17 minutes.

Cool the Easter holiday baked goods a little right in the oven. Then take out the molds and take out the cakes. Upper part smear white sugar icing and immediately, before it hardens, add multi-colored powder.

Option 6: Butter cake with sour cream, pear and cinnamon

Well, in the last version we decided to use two non-traditional ingredients at once, namely pear and cinnamon. It will be sweet and fragrant!

Ingredients:

  • large pear;
  • a teaspoon of cinnamon (without top);
  • three glasses of flour (wheat);
  • half a glass of regular sugar;

Mix the ingredients, then pour in water brought to 38 degrees. Do not stop stirring until the mixture becomes homogeneous and viscous.

Only then cover the dish with the dough with film. Forget about it for 20 minutes, putting it in a warm place.

After the specified time, add chicken eggs, sour cream and soft (calcined) butter. Also add the rest of the sugar.

In addition, add cinnamon and the rest of the flour. Kneading the mixture with your hands or a spatula, add the cubes sweet pear(without peel and core).

It is as easy as possible to press down future butter cakes. Immediately transfer the pieces to the oven.

Bake sweet bread for 15-18 minutes, then increase the temperature. Already at 190 degrees, cook the cakes for the same amount of time. Before serving, traditionally decorate with glaze and sprinkles.

If you don't like cinnamon, replace it with vanilla or chopped mint. It won't be as spicy, but it will be refreshingly tasty. Also, depending on the sweetness of the pear, adjust the amount of sugar so that the baked goods do not turn out too cloying.

The Easter cake according to this recipe is not the same as we are used to - it is richer and with a minimal amount of yeast. The texture is moist, tender and aromatic. The cake is not fluffy, although it doubles in size when baked, but this makes its taste even better.

Angela. When baking Easter cakes, it is very important that the dough is not liquid or, on the contrary, thick. Easter cakes made from liquid dough will become flat, and from thick dough they will become heavy and hard. And don't forget to fill the mold only halfway with dough. If there is more dough in the molds, it will “escape” from them.

Ksenia. Modern factory eggs do not always give baked goods a beautiful golden hue. That's why I always add a pinch of turmeric to the cakes. This spice not only gives a lasting color, but also improves the taste of baked goods.

Easter is the most main holiday all Orthodox Christians.

Traditions Easter menu have reached our days.

Painted eggs, Easter cottage cheese, and Easter cakes are invariably present on holiday tables.

A delicious Easter cake recipe in the general culinary sense is round or oval-shaped bread.

Easter cake takes on a special, religious meaning.

Before the emergence of Christianity in Rus', baking paskas was associated with various rituals: fortune telling for the harvest, livestock offspring, pre-sowing work.

With the advent of Christianity, it became a kind of reminder of the meals of the apostles with their Teacher, when bread intended for breaking by Jesus Christ was laid out in the middle of an empty table.

According to its form Easter cake similar to artos - bread brought to the temple and illuminated at the Easter service.

In the week following the main Orthodox holiday, artos is distributed to many parishioners.

Artos is always prepared from dough using yeast, but without adding baking.

And paska is also made from yeast dough, but with a large number of non-Lenten ingredients - butter, eggs, because it is baked at the end of the longest Lent.

Artos and Easter cake are a kind of symbols of Lent and Easter.

The long period of fasting ends and the time comes when you can break your fast.

Believers associate the sweet, rich Easter cake with a sweet heavenly life and eternal bliss.

As a rule, muffins are lit in churches and are one of the main dishes for Easter.

Many Christians do not skimp and use only the best and highest quality products in their preparations.

The dough is kneaded enough to make more than one Easter cake, because no one has canceled the tradition of visiting during Easter week and treating loved ones.

Easter cakes, both Easter and prepared for other holidays, must be high.

For them, special cylindrical shapes are used.

If you don’t have such a vessel, you can use a regular tall saucepan with a capacity of up to 1.5 liters.

There is no need to take larger pans, otherwise the dough at home will be regular oven It might just not bake.

The paska dough needs to be kneaded very well.

You can even “beat” it a little by dumping it on a floured board.

The appearance of bubbles and “squeaking” of the dough is a good sign that it is ready.

The finished mass is placed in a mold greased with oil and lined with parchment paper or sprinkled with breadcrumbs.

There is no need to spread the dough to the edges of the pan, only to half of the pan.

Then let it brew.

When it rises to 3/4 of the pan, feel free to place it in a preheated oven.

Bake the paska for 1.5-2 hours.

At this time, it is advisable not to look into the oven, not to make noise or knock.

Then the cake will rise well and bake.

Check the readiness of the baked goods with a thin wooden splinter or a long knife.

The dough should not stick to these items.

Various kinds of additives (raisins, dried apricots, candied fruits) and decorations (sweet sprinkles, glaze, fondant) are necessarily used in the manufacture of beads.

On the upper part they make various kinds of inscriptions on religious themes, but most often they “write” the letters ХВ, meaning the most important call of the Easter service “Christ is Risen!”

Raisins, nuts, poppy seeds, and colored sprinkles made from dyed millet traditionally decorate Easter baked goods.

Here are the main ingredients that are used:

  • flour;
  • eggs;
  • butter or margarine;

Easter cake for the whole family - the most delicious recipe

To be honest, I wholeheartedly advocate that you take exactly this option, and I described the entire process in great detail. I like the dough there, there are no problems with it, you don’t have to wait for hours and beat the dough, you have your own chips, remember how we cooked there?

If you still want and don’t want to try that recipe, then I offer you another Easter cooking option. Make a whole mountain of sweet and fragrant Easter cakes, let your whole cheerful family be with you. It's so great when everyone is nearby!

And so that everything works out for you, I will try to demonstrate and teach you all the subtleties and tricks. The dough will taste great and be very soft and light, like fluff.

We will need:

For a couple:

  • milk - 120 g
  • fresh compressed yeast - 15 g or dry yeast - 5 g
  • granulated sugar - 1 tbsp
  • flour - 1 tbsp

For the test:

  • butter or margarine - 100 g
  • chicken egg - 2 pcs.
  • yolks - 2 pcs.
  • granulated sugar - 85 g
  • vanilla sugar - sachet
  • salt - 0.5 tsp
  • flour - 450 g
  • raisins – 65 g
  • candied fruits – 65 g

Cooking method:

1. It’s no secret to anyone that for any baking to be successful, the housewife must make the dough correctly. Therefore, start the cooking process with milk, make it warm, for this you can put a glass in hot water or heat it a little on the stove so that the temperature becomes 40-45 degrees.


And only after that, add the yeast, which you can knead in your hands or if you are using the dry version, then pour out the bag.

Interesting! Of course, with live yeast, the kind that we are used to seeing in stores in pressed form, any sweet baked goods turn out much tastier and more perfect.

2. In order for the dough to start playing, you need to add flour and sugar; without these ingredients it will not start to work. Stir and place in a sunny window to form a fluffy cap.

Remember! Be sure to cover the container with a lid, or you can use a towel and cling film.


3. While our dough is resting, do something else, namely, take butter (margarine), chop it into cubes with a kitchen knife and mix it with granulated sugar. You need to take softened butter, if you only have it from the refrigerator, then please place it in the microwave and turn it for 30 seconds, depending on the power of your assistant.

Also pour vanilla sugar into this transparent bowl, you can even take and add a couple of drops of barberry, this is at your discretion. After salt and mix everything thoroughly and proceed to the next step.


4. As you may have guessed, the turn has come chicken eggs and yolks, add them to the soft fat mixture. Take a whisk and start whisking. The mass will become yellow and stretchy.


5. In the meantime, the dough will most likely be suitable, you will see this if you open the lid slightly and be surprised, the entire surface will become bubbly and the mixture will increase several times. Only after this you have to mix the dough with the egg mass.

You see, it looks like foam, so you need to wait for just such a state. The warmer the apartment, the faster the result will be.


6. And the most important thing is adding flour. Sift it through a sieve several times.

Important! This must be done, and sift the flour 2-3 times if you want the baked goods to be airy and light, and most importantly, fluffy.


You need to add flour in parts, and stir each time so that lumps and clots do not appear. It is very important here to take your time and do everything with love and inspiration. The dough loves to be played with.

7. After all the flour has been used up and you are pleased with the result, the mixture has become homogeneous and has a pleasant color, cover with film (towel) and leave to rest for a couple of hours, where it is warm. Do not place it where drafts are possible, this will only cause harm and the dough may rise and immediately settle.


8. We will still need molds for work; they can be purchased at the supermarket, or you can use your own metal or silicone ones.

But, there is one thing if you have your own baking molds! It may turn out that your Easter cake will run away from you, ha ha))). To prevent this from happening, you need to make one chip.


Take parchment paper, foil is also suitable and use it to make rectangular sides and a circle-bottom of your shape.

9. Then place the blanks in the desired place and grease the molds with oil. In principle, you can do without this, but it will be more reliable, decide for yourself.


10. After the dough has risen once, you can observe this in 1.5 -2 hours, beat it and the next step is to add well-washed raisins and candied fruits.

You can take anything, other berries, and even dried fruits and dried apricots. The main thing is to wash all the ingredients well and steam in boiling water, and then dry on a paper towel.

Interesting! To obtain original taste Add grated lemon or orange zest to this delicacy. And for gourmets I recommend adding grated on a fine grater walnuts or almonds.


Many people add a spoonful of flour to the berries before kneading to make kneading easier. What are you used to doing?

Tear off a lump from the total mass and form a small ball out of it, place it on the bottom of the mold and lightly compact it so that all excess air comes out.


12. Next, cover with cling film or better with gauze so that the dough can breathe and leave to rise for another 1 hour. It is important not to forget that only 1/3, or maximum half, of the dough is placed in the mold, otherwise it will definitely run away from you).


13. Meanwhile, when you notice that growth has begun and the Easter cakes began to stretch out quickly like grass in a meadow, then turn on the oven to heat. The temperature should be 180 degrees, and then as soon as it warms up well, place the workpieces. Bake for about 1 hour, it all depends on your oven and the size of the pans. For little handsome guys, 30-40 minutes will be enough, for larger ones, 50-60 minutes.

Here, watch, and if the top has become golden, and the beans have not yet baked as they should, then you can cover with foil to avoid burning.


14. Check the readiness with any wooden toothpick, a stick will do, the main thing is that it is dry.

Secret! To prevent the finished cakes from settling, after you put them on the table, place them hot in a horizontal position, and then cool and return them to their original vertical form.


We noticed how cool and fluffy our Easter dessert turned out, you can see it even in this photo. Well, simply excellent! I hope you have the same result.

15. Now all that remains is to grease it on top with fondant, which is best made from gelatin. This is the kind that doesn’t crumble or crumble. Take 1 tsp of gelatin and mix it with two tablespoons of water, set aside and let stand to swell.

Meanwhile, add 4 tablespoons of water to sugar (100 g) and bring this mixture to a boil so that the sugar is completely dissolved. Pour this sweet mass into the swollen gelatin and start beating with a blender or mixer until it becomes creamy. The result will be a sugar glaze, it will slightly resemble a matte color.

Apply it on top of the cakes and sprinkle with any decorations, usually powder or even chocolate chips.


16. When you cut the finished delicacy into pieces, you will immediately notice the difference, because with protein glaze everything immediately crumbles off.


Another tip: decorate with something special, because after all, such a holiday only happens once a year. Bon appetit! Invite everyone to the table for tea!


Wow, these turned out delicious!


An easy and simple recipe for making Easter cake with raisins

Well, in the previous version we added raisins and candied fruits, but in this one I suggest sticking with the classic version.

One important detail, I completely forgot to write about it at the very beginning of the article, for everything to succeed, you need to be in good mood, and you can even say a prayer.

To prevent your baked goods from going stale for a long time, you can use margarine instead of butter. But, see for yourself, it still turns out very, very tasty in oil, and I don’t think that your baked goods will sit for a very long time after cooking.

We will need:

  • Baked milk - 250 g.
  • Butter - 125 g
  • Eggs - 5 pcs.
  • Sugar - 250 g
  • Fresh yeast - 50 g
  • Salt - 1 tsp
  • Vanillin – 1 sachet
  • Cognac - 2 tbsp
  • Flour - 800 g
  • Raisins – 200 g
  • Confectionery powder

Cooking method:

1. Let's start work in order. As always, you have to bring the milk to a warm state. Therefore, first always touch it with your hand, if your hand tolerates it and it feels good, then everything is fine.

Remember! Heat will not allow the yeast to work actively, it will destroy them.

Afterwards, knead the fresh yeast with a fork or your hands; be sure to check the production date before baking so that it is fresh and not expired. Plus add granulated sugar here, it is yeast and sugar that get along very well with each other.


2. Next, proceed to the next step. You need to add chicken eggs and, of course, softened butter. You can melt it in a water bath or microwave. Or you can wait and take it out on the table in advance so that it becomes soft.

Interesting! If you use margarine instead of butter, the baked goods will last much longer and will not spoil. Although with us it never lasts until this moment))).


Thus, the dough is almost ready, but there is one more thing to do. Namely, put this mixture in a warm place overnight. Let it stand and seethe, the whole point is in such an interesting approach. And you will agree that it is very convenient, you don’t need to get up and beat the dough so that it doesn’t run away.

Important! It is necessary to cover the container in which you mixed the ingredients with a lid.

The time for such a procedure is usually about 8-13 hours, but I think that overnight will be enough.

Interesting! You can experiment and add nutmeg or cinnamon instead of vanilla.

I want to say right away that it is cognac, or perhaps you have Cahors, vodka that will make the baked goods lacy and airy, and most importantly, that it will bake very well, without unexpected surprises.


3. After all the steps, add flour to the dough. Mix thoroughly.

Important! Be sure to sift the flour through a sieve to saturate it with oxygen, this will give greater fluffiness to the finished dish.


Well, that's not all, if you wish, you can immediately add well-washed raisins. But, it is better to first soak it in boiling water and keep it in water for 15 minutes, and then dry it through a colander or a dry cloth. Roll in flour and mix into the dough, this is how it will be distributed everywhere and will not settle to the bottom.

Well, now we just have to wait a little, about 1.5-2 hours.

4. Afterwards, prepare the molds for work, you can take metal ones, and even many people take cups, using them for condensed milk. It’s funny how everyone managed to somehow adapt. I personally love store-bought paper forms, they are elegant and very convenient. So, grease with vegetable oil, you can sprinkle with a little more flour or semolina.

Tear off a lump of dough with your hands and make a ball out of it, then place it in the mold and press lightly so that all the air comes out. Cover with a towel and let stand again until the mixture rises towards the top.

Remember! You need to fill the cups 1/3, or at most half, otherwise the dough will inevitably run away, especially if you have high-quality yeast.


5. Now the most crucial moment awaits you - baking. Place the Easter cakes in a preheated oven at 180 degrees and bake for about one hour, look at the golden top. There are also situations when the top is baked but the bottom is not, in which case it may burn; use parchment paper or foil for this purpose. Then trouble will definitely pass you by.

Check readiness with a wooden stick.

While the eggs are baking, you can make the glaze, but do it just a couple of minutes before turning it off oven. Because it hardens and thickens quickly.


6. It is absolutely easy to saddle her. Take one chicken protein and 100 g of powdered sugar. Beat with a mixer until you obtain a fluffy mass, that is, a snow-white cream. Or use

Grease the surface and sprinkle with decorations in the form of Easter powder, you can also sprinkle with nuts. Bon appetit and Christ is Risen!
