Ingredients

Cooking process

step 1 out of 9
Rinse raisins for baking Easter cakes well with cold water.
step 2 out of 9
Cut the candied citrus fruits into small pieces. Put the raisins and chopped candied fruits in a glass jar and fill with cognac so that they are completely covered with it. Close the jar tightly with a lid and leave to infuse for 1-2 days. During this time, turn the jar several times.
step 3 out of 9
To bake holiday cakes, first prepare the dough dough. In a separate bowl, pour ½ cup of warmed milk (just not hot), crush the yeast into it, add 2 tbsp. l. sugar and flour, mix well and leave for 20 minutes to begin fermentation. Dough during this time should increase in volume by 2–3 times.
step 4 out of 9
Whisk butter, aged at home temperature, in a separate bowl with the rest of the sugar and vanilla.
step 5 out of 9
Place the yolks in a bowl for kneading and add eggs to them. Mix them a little.
step 6 out of 9
Then transfer the matched dough, whipped butter to the eggs, add the rest of the milk and half of the flour sifted on a sieve. Knead these ingredients into a homogeneous dough. Cover the dishes with the dough with a napkin and place in a warm place for 2 hours. During this time, the dough should fit well and increase in volume by 2 times.
step 7 out of 9
Wrap the dough that has come up with your hands, add the rest of the flour, chopped nuts and raisins and candied fruits aged in cognac. Knead the dough until elastic. If the candied fruits have absorbed a lot of cognac, then you can add flour to the dough to make it thick. Leave this dough in a warm place again for 2 hours.
step 8 out of 9
After this time, hand again the dough and leave for 20 minutes for proofing. Divide the prepared dough into small equal pieces and roll them into balls. Arrange the koloboks in special tins, filling them only 2/3 of their volume or half, because Easter cakes are suitable for baking. Bake the cakes in an oven preheated to 180 ° C for 1 hour.
step 9 out of 9
Remove the baked cakes from the oven and cool slightly. During this time, beat the whites with powdered sugar until thick and pour over the cakes with this icing. If you want the icing to be hard and crispy, place the cakes for 10-15 minutes in the oven, turned on at 110 ° C. Decorate the cakes with pastry sprinkles.
