The Christian holiday of Easter is approaching, and housewives are already putting butter dough on Easter cakes. There are many recipes for making Easter cakes, but despite the different composition of the dough, the right Easter cakes turn out fluffy, tall, rosy and well baked. In addition, homemade Easter cakes are always tastier than store-bought baked goods, because they are prepared with your own hands, with love and in a peaceful mood. We have already told you how to prepare Easter cake at home so that it rises and bakes well, but today we’ll talk about how to properly bake Easter cake and decorate it festively. Easter baked goods should be beautiful, bright and impressive!
It is necessary to select in advance the form in which to bake. In Soviet times, housewives baked Easter cakes in saucepans, mugs, ceramic flower pots, and cans, and it turned out very well - small Easter cakes resembled church domes and looked very original. Until now, many grandmothers continue to bake in cans, not recognizing modern baking dishes.
Traditional Easter cake molds resemble cylinders of different volumes and sizes, silicone or metal, with a non-stick coating or a removable bottom. Do not get carried away with too tall shapes - the height of the container should be approximately 1.5 times higher than the width, but no more than 20 cm.
Paper forms made from thick paper that is resistant to high temperatures, moisture and grease are also very popular. Many of them have a corrugated bottom and small holes for air circulation, because the cake must breathe. It is customary to take Easter cakes in beautiful paper forms with you when visiting and give them as an Easter souvenir. You can bake homemade cakes in regular muffin tins or disposable aluminum foil molds, which are convenient because they do not need to be washed after use.
First, the molds are greased from the inside with butter or vegetable oil - using a brush, especially when it comes to paper containers. Silicone molds only need to be greased the first time they are used, while molds with a non-stick layer, reminiscent of a multicooker bowl, do not need to be greased at all. It is advisable to cover ordinary metal containers or foil molds with oiled baking paper - while some housewives also sprinkle the paper with flour or breadcrumbs.
It is better to put the dough in the molds at half the volume or even a little less - it all depends on what result you want to get. If you need a more airy cake, fill the pan a third full, and if you need a denser bake, put the dough in half of the pan. A well-kneaded dough will increase several times in size, so it needs some free space.
Proofing continues until the dough rises to the edges of the pan. Do not neglect this important step in preparing Easter cake if you want to get light, fluffy and beautiful baked goods. At the same time, you need to remember that candied fruits, nuts and dried fruits slightly make the dough heavier, so it needs a little more time to increase in size. Try not to move the molds with Easter cakes, because the risen dough falls off so easily! If, due to careless movement, the cake still falls right in the mold, do not expect it to rise - it is better to take out the dough, knead it lightly and place it back in the mold for proofing.
The risen cake, so that it browns nicely in the oven, can be brushed with an egg beaten with milk, water, butter or vegetable oil. However, if you are coating the baked goods with fondant, then one oil is enough. Interestingly, some housewives sprinkle the cakes with sugar or nuts even before baking.
The molds with the dough are placed in a well-heated (up to 180–240 °C) oven, on the “top + bottom” mode. You can place a bowl of hot water at the bottom of the oven to humidify the air and prevent the dough from drying out. Half an hour after the start of baking, it is better to reduce the temperature by 20 °C. While the cakes are baking, do not open the oven door - just watch the baking through the glass. The fact is that because of the cold air, Easter cakes that are capricious to temperature changes can settle and lose their splendor. As soon as the top of the baked goods becomes golden and ruddy, you can cover the cakes with damp baking paper to prevent them from burning.
In order to bake Easter cakes according to all the rules, you should calculate the required baking time, which usually depends on the weight of the product. For example, a kilogram cake takes 45 minutes to bake, a cake weighing 2 kg should spend about 1.5 hours in the oven, and small cakes weighing 0.5 kg or more will be ready in half an hour. It is not recommended to bake cakes that are too small, as they will dry out in the oven and lose their taste and aroma.
Many housewives stick a wooden splinter into the center of the cake even before it goes into the oven. After the cake is baked, you can finally verify its readiness by pulling out the splinter. A dry splinter is a sure sign that it’s time to remove the cake from the mold. Another way to check is to lightly press the cake with your finger: if it quickly returns to its previous shape, the cake is ready. First, it must cool in the form, which is best placed on a cold towel: this helps to easily remove the baked goods and not damage it. Once removed from the mold, the cake cools perfectly on its side - slowly, for 3-4 hours, under a thick towel or even a blanket. At the same time, it must be turned over to cool evenly. It is important to remember that the slower Easter baked goods cool, the longer they retain their freshness.
Fondant and icing are needed not only to make the cake look spectacular and beautiful. The fact is that they protect baked goods from drying out and keep them fresh for a long time.
If you plan to decorate the cake with fondant or frosting, you need to do it before it completely cools.
The most popular glaze is protein. It is easy to prepare, various decorations stick well to it, and it is also very tender, airy and amazingly tasty. To prepare this fudge, beat the egg white into a strong foam, add 100 g of powdered sugar to it, mix the mass and add 1 tsp. lemon juice, causing the fudge to turn white. Beat it with a blender at high speed, gradually adding another 100 g of powdered sugar in small portions. At this stage, dye is added to the fondant if necessary, trying to ensure that it is evenly distributed throughout the egg mass. Now spread the fondant onto the cake, and apply all the decorations and sprinkles immediately before the fondant hardens. You need to cut the cake only after the fondant has hardened, and if there is absolutely no time and you need to serve the baked goods on the table, you can keep it in the oven for several minutes at temperatures up to 100 ° C.
The fondant is applied with a pastry brush, pastry bag, or by dipping the top of the cake into liquid glaze. With a pastry bag, of course, you can decorate the cake in a more original and unusual way.
Lemon fondant is also suitable for Easter cake, which has a fresh and pleasant taste, and its soft yellow color is associated with spring, sun and warmth. How to make fudge for lemon cake? To do this, mix 100 g of powdered sugar and 3 tbsp. l. lemon juice, grind well and cover the surface of the products. Instead of lemon juice, you can take the juice of any berries and fruits or use regular warm water, which is mixed with powdered sugar until thickened - this is called sugar fudge. In general, any fudge is suitable for Easter cake - butter, chocolate, vanilla, nut, creme brulee, coffee and cognac. Rose water fudge is very pleasant to the taste, pistachio and coconut are no worse - you can experiment to suit your taste. Easter baked goods should be original and bright!
The easiest way to decorate is to sprinkle the product with powdered sugar or cocoa powder through a strainer or using holiday stencils. Simple topping options include poppy seeds, coconut flakes, colored sugar, ground nuts, dried fruits, candied fruits and regular store-bought confectionery toppings. First, the cake is covered with icing or fondant, and after a few minutes, when the glaze thickens slightly, you can sprinkle the top of the cake with something tasty. If you do this earlier, the sprinkles will drown in the glaze and will be invisible.
Easter cake decorated with patterns made using sugar pencils of all shades looks very impressive, and children will be happy to take part in this interesting activity. You can also decorate Easter cookies with sugar pencils.
You can decorate the Easter cake before baking with dough borders, braids, crosses and flowers, but the dough for decoration should be denser so that the decorations do not blur. By the way, it is better to attach braids and flowers using raw egg white.
The most creative housewives can make decorations from marzipan or mastic, decorate the Easter cake with fresh flowers, and decorate it with lace, ribbons and candles. In this case, the Easter cake can be turned into a real work of art.
Enough theory - finally, let's move on to practice. Let's try to prepare a very simple Easter cake that even inexperienced cooks can handle. Prepare the following foods.
For the test: 50 g fresh pressed yeast (16 g dry), 2–3 cups sugar, ½ tsp. salt, 6 eggs, 200 g butter, ½ liter of milk, 3 tbsp. l. vegetable oil, 1½ kg flour, 20 g vanilla sugar, 1 cup raisins.

1. Mix yeast and 100 ml of warm milk, add 1 tbsp. l. sugar and 1 tbsp. l. flour. Place the fermentation dough in a warm place.
2. Combine the butter with the remaining milk (0.4 liters), place on the stove and heat until the butter is melted.
3. Beat eggs with sugar until fluffy.
4. Combine the dough, warm milk with butter, eggs beaten with sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla, salt, and raisins in one bowl. Knead the mass well.
5. Add flour and knead the dough.
6. Place the dough in a deep bowl, cover with a towel and place in a warm place to ferment. The dough should increase in volume by 2-3 times. This usually takes up to 5 hours.
7. Fill the molds about a third with dough and leave for half an hour to proof.
8. Bake the cakes in the oven at 180°C, calculating the time based on the weight of the baked goods.
9. Take out the finished cakes and cool them.
10. Make sugar fudge. Cook the syrup from water and sugar over low heat until it reaches a “test” state, when a drop of syrup in the water does not spread, but turns into a soft ball, the consistency of dough.
11. Cool the syrup and beat it with a mixer until a fluffy mass of a pleasant white color.
12. Cover the cake with fondant using a brush.
13. Top the fudge with finely chopped candied fruits and chopped nuts.
How to make Easter cake is half the battle; besides, you still need to save it until Easter, or better yet, until the end of Easter week. The most reliable way to store Easter cakes is in cotton napkins, in a saucepan with a tightly closed lid. This way they will survive even Bright Week and at the same time remain tender, fresh and tasty. Have a nice holiday!
All housewives are divided into two groups: those who agree to stay up at night and enthusiastically knead the dough for Easter cake, and those who are too lazy and don’t know how, and go to the store to buy holiday baked goods. Of course, homemade Easter cake is much tastier than store-bought. However, sometimes looking at the list of products and the complex methods of turning these lists into aromatic fluffy dough, many give up. Easter baking, especially according to traditional recipes, is not for everyone. That's why simplified recipes for Easter cakes were invented, which use dry yeast and much less baking.

Our site has written more than once about how to prepare for making Easter cakes. This review will only contain recipes, and they are more than simple. Of course, you won’t put as much baking into a “quick” Easter cake dough as into one that is prepared almost overnight. However, you can soak raisins and dried cherries in rum or cognac. Instead of regular vanilla, you can add a mixture of cardamom, nutmeg and cloves to make the aroma dizzy. If the aroma of vanillin is more familiar to you, buy real vanilla pods - you will understand the difference between store-bought “chemicals” and real fragrant vanilla. Do not substitute margarine for real butter. Buy homemade chicken eggs. Take Easter baking seriously, since you only make it once a year.

It seems to me that every housewife, regardless of whether she likes cooking or not, knows that while working with yeast dough, peace and tranquility should reign in the house. Under no circumstances should you swear, make noise, or think about bad things. Haste and fuss are also excluded.
It is not so easy to meet these requirements when there are small children in the house. As soon as you get your hands dirty with dough and flour, someone will take a toy away from someone, or push you, or won’t give it to you. Therefore, I have a whole day allotted for Easter cakes, when other than that there are no other tasks or trips. An “entertainment” program is being developed for children. At one time I even wrote a number of articles about how to keep a child occupied in the kitchen.
As a rule, these are experiments (for example, how yeast inflates a balloon), joint actions (sieve flour, stir with a spoon, knead with your hands).
The main thing is to be patient and in a good mood.
The taste, fluffiness, and texture of the future product directly depend on the quality of the ingredients. You should not skimp on the quality of butter, flour, or eggs.
It is convenient to prepare and weigh out all the ingredients in advance. This way, you definitely won’t forget anything and won’t find yourself in a situation where during work it turns out that something is missing and you need to urgently run to the store.
All ingredients should be at room temperature. This applies to everything: butter, eggs, milk, and flour.
Before adding to the dough, sift the flour twice and saturate it with oxygen.
If you melt the butter in advance and let it sit a little, the cakes will turn out more tender.
Many recipes recommend separating the yolks from the whites, which are then beaten. In this case, follow all the requirements for proteins: clean, dry, grease-free dishes and whisks. Not a drop of yolk should get into the white. Start beating at low speed, gradually increasing it.
As with any recipe, you should not pour out all the ingredients at once. Add sugar/flour/raisins/candied fruits in 2-3 additions.
Raisins and candied fruits must be dry. Before adding them to the dough, they must be dried and rolled in flour.
If spices are added to the recipe, it is better to sift them together with the flour.
The cake dough is kneaded for as long as possible so that it completely comes off the hands or the table.
The dough for Easter cake should not be liquid (the cake will spread and be flat) and should not be thick (the product will be too heavy and will quickly become stale).
The dough should be of such density that it could be cut with a knife without it sticking to it, and when dividing the Easter cakes there would be no need to add flour.
The dough should rise three times: the first time the dough rises, the second time when all the products are added, the third time when the dough is placed in molds.
It is better not to place the dough where the heat comes from bottom to top, otherwise it will not fit well. An example of a bad option: I used to test the approach to the battery by laying a thick towel on it. Heating goes from bottom to top. Now I turn on the oven for a short period of time, turn it off and put the dough there. I like the result much better. Easter cakes should be placed in a warm place at a temperature of 30-45 degrees.
Typically, the baking pan is filled halfway with dough, allowed to rise to 3/4 of the way up, and then placed in the oven. Depending on the recipe, the amount of dough in the mold may vary. Pay attention to this when mastering a new recipe. Whether the author emphasized this point or not.
There is no need to grease or cover paper baking pans. Silicone ones are lubricated only during the first use, “renewing”. For metal/detachable ones, you can lay a circle of suitable diameter made of baking paper on the bottom. There is no need to lubricate the walls. If you use saucepans or cans (review of what to bake Easter cake in if you don’t have a mold), then line the sides with a strip of baking paper.
The Easter cake, ready for baking, is brushed with an egg beaten with 1 tbsp. water and oil.
To ensure that the cake rises evenly during baking, insert a thin wooden stick, such as a kebab skewer, into its center. After a certain time, the stick can be removed, checking the product for readiness.
It often happens that the top is already browned properly, but the cake is still raw. To prevent the top from burning, you can cover the cakes with baking paper.
In most cases, unless otherwise specified in the recipe, Easter cakes are placed in an oven preheated to the desired temperature.
Bake the cake in a humidified oven (to do this, place a container of water at the bottom) at a temperature of 200-220 degrees.
The rule for baking biscuits also applies to baking Easter cakes. Do not open the oven door during cooking, otherwise the product will settle.
The baking time for Easter cakes directly depends not only on the temperature in the oven, but also on the size of the molds:
The finished cake is removed from the oven, placed on its side and left in this position until the bottom has cooled.

Quantity: 1 serving
Take a deep bowl. The butter should not be used cold; it would be ideal if you use a slightly melted product. Cut the butter into small pieces.
Pour warm milk into a bowl with butter. There is no need to boil it, just warm it slightly.
Break two eggs into the same bowl.
Divide one egg into yolk and white. Place the yolk in a bowl with the rest of the ingredients, and place the white in an empty bowl.
Pour granulated sugar into a common cup.
Mix everything.
Place the vanilla in a bowl with the other ingredients.
Pour the yeast into a cup.
Add flour in small portions to all products.
Knead the dough.
Place raisins in the dough.
Mix everything thoroughly again.
Cover the top of the cup with cellophane. Leave the dough warm for two hours.
Then transfer the dough into a convenient form. To be safe, the inside of the mold must be coated with vegetable oil in advance. Leave the mold filled with dough on the table for another two hours. The mass should increase well and become airy.
Then send the test form to an oven preheated to 200 degrees. Do not open the oven for the first 30 minutes so that the baked goods do not sink. Cook for approximately an hour.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites and sweet powder until stiff peaks form.
You should get a thick white mixture. My protein was either not cooled enough, or drops of water got into it, and as a result, the glaze did not whip up as I wanted.
I didn’t consider it necessary to redo the glaze; with powder it will look beautiful, and its density does not affect the taste. But to prevent this from happening to you, put the protein in the refrigerator while preparing the cake and cover it with film or a lid so that it does not dry out or moisture does not get into the container.
Grease the top of the golden-brown cake with the prepared glaze and decorate with multi-colored sprinkles.
