About This Recipe
Cakes made with kefir are a very interesting alternative to the classic ones, which are usually made with milk. What does this fermented dairy product add to the dough? Interesting flavor notes and a more delicate texture. Moreover, this dough rises a bit faster, of course, if the yeast is really fresh and active. The recipe requires time, effort, and special attention from the cook: it's simply not feasible to prepare such a baked good "on the side." However, if you do everything correctly, you'll get very beautiful cakes that will become a true decoration of the Easter table.

Preparation Steps
Step 1
Prepare all ingredients. Heat the kefir in the microwave (be careful not to curdle it!). Pour into a large bowl. Add crumbled yeast, 3 tablespoons of sugar and 100 g of flour. Stir. Leave in a warm place for 30 minutes.
Step 2
Separate the eggs, yolks and whites. Grind the yolks with the remaining sugar and salt.
Step 3
Beat the whites for the Easter cake dough with a mixer and salt until soft peaks form.
Step 4
Pour warm melted butter into the suitable dough with kefir. Add the yolk mixture and stir. Fold in the whipped whites. Stir gently.
Step 5
Add the remaining flour in portions, stirring with a spatula or tablespoon. Add vanilla. Knead the Easter cake dough using your hands or mixer hooks.
Step 6
Pour in vegetable oil. Knead thoroughly again. Cover with a towel and leave in a warm place to rise for 1.5–2 hours. It should double in volume.
Step 7
Rinse dried apricots, dates and prunes for Easter cakes with running hot water. Then place on several layers of paper towels and let dry.
Step 8
Remove pits from dates. Cut all dried fruits into small pieces.
Step 9
Combine chopped dates, prunes and dried apricots with 1 tablespoon of flour and stir. Add dried fruits to the suitable Easter cake dough. Stir and let rise again.
Step 10
Cut out circles from baking paper to the size of the pan (so that they slightly overlap the sides). Using a brush, brush the bottoms with vegetable oil and place the mugs on them. Grease the paper and sides of the pan again with oil. Sprinkle with flour, shake off excess. Place half the volume of Easter cake dough into the prepared pans.
Step 11
Place the forms with the dough on a baking sheet. Let rise to a third. Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 40-50 minutes. Check readiness with a long wooden skewer.
Step 12
Remove the cake pans from the oven. Let cool slightly (10 minutes). Then remove the cakes from the pans and place them on their sides on a wire rack. Let cool completely. To make the glaze, beat the egg whites with powdered sugar until they form sharp peaks.
Step 13
Cover the cakes with egg white glaze. Sprinkle with pastry decorations. You can dry the glaze a little in the oven.
Step 14
Place the cakes on beautiful plates. Can be supplemented with painted eggs and flowers. Serve.
