Ingredients
  • 500 grams flour
  • 100 grams heavy cream
  • 200 milliliters milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 7 grams dry yeast
  • 1 lemon zest and juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 100 grams ground almonds
  • 100 grams chopped candied fruit
  • 1/4 cup melted butter for greasing
Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk along with a teaspoon of sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the yeast dissolves and begins to froth actively.

  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour with the remaining sugar and salt. Add the melted butter and thoroughly rub it until you achieve a crumbly dough.

  3. Add the melted butter, yeast mixture, eggs, lemon zest and juice, vanilla extract, and chopped almonds. Mix until the dough is uniform.

  4. Add the candied fruits and continue mixing until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.

  5. Cover the bowl with the dough with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rise for 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.

  6. After the dough has risen, divide it into two equal parts and place them in the greased paska molds.

  7. Cover the molds with a towel and let the easter cakes rise again for 30-45 minutes, or until they double in size once more.

  8. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Bake the easter cakes for 25-30 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.

  9. After baking, brush with melted butter and let cool on a rack before serving.
