Classic Easter cake with raisins

We prepare the classic Easter cake in a sponge way. It is this method that allows you to get the traditional texture of the Easter cake: loose, dense, tender, spongy. Of course, add raisins for juiciness and flavor. Kneading the dough and lifting it takes a lot of time, but the result obtained fully justifies the effort.

Let the molds with the dough stand for half an hour in the warmth and put them in an oven preheated to 180 degrees to an average level. We bake cakes for about half an hour.
