Hello, today I want to share with you the most beloved, for the past 5 years, a version of the Easter cake "Sun" I love this cake, first of all, for its bright yellow color, of course, for the taste, and it does not get stale for up to 7 days.
Recipe:
For the cake:
- Milk -300 ml.
- Flour -800 gr.
- Vanilla sugar - 1 sachet
- Fresh yeast - 15 gr. (dry -5 gr)
- Egg -5 pcs.
- Salt -1/2 tsp
- Sugar -200 gr.
- Turmeric -1/2-1 tsp
- Butter -200 gr.
- Vegetable oil -50 ml.
For glaze:
- Sugar -180 gr.

COOKING METHOD
Stage 1: in a bowl, mix 100 ml of milk with a half tsp. salt and 1 tsp. sugar, add yeast
add 100 grams of sifted flour and leave to rise for 15-20 minutes
Stage 2: Let's prepare the custard base: pour 200 ml of milk into the pan, add vanilla sugar
as it boils, remove and add 150 grams of flour, mix
leave to cool
as it cools down, we introduce the dough (for convenience, you can use a mixer, if the mass is thick, add a little milk)
leave for 1 hour to rise
Stage 3: Divide eggs into whites and yolks
Put the squirrels in the refrigerator, add sugar and turmeric to the yolks (it will give a yellow color to the Easter cakes)
Beat with a mixer
add to broth and stir
and now add 150 grams of sifted flour
and remove for 1.5 hours to rise
Stage 4: melt the butter and let it cool down
add to the dough mixed with flour and mix
add filler
the dough is ready to divide into shapes
We let it rise and bake (how I bake Easter cakes so that they bake evenly and do not burn, see the video at 3:48 minutes
