Yeast dissolve in 0.5 cups of warm milk and mix with 100 grams of flour. Leave for 10 minutes.

In half a Cup of boiling milk add 100 grams of flour and quickly stir with a wooden spoon until elastic mass. Also 10 minutes to leave.

Put our mixture after 10 minutes, stir everything and leave to rise for at least 1 hour.

Then a few steps without pictures, I apologize - did not have time to take pictures. Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar and salt until white foam. Half of this mixture after an hour to rise, pour the dough, add 250 grams of flour and knead well. Again leave for 1 hour to rise. After an hour add the remaining yolks to the dough 500 g flour and knead until the dough will not lag behind hands. In the finished dough pour in warm melted butter in small portions and knead well each time. Then add to the spices, brandy and let the dough (also about an hour).

After lifting saivam the dough and add to the 2/3 of the raisins and candied fruit. I every time sprinkled on top of cakes with remaining raisins and candied fruit as required in the recipe, but I came to the conclusion that it is better all the dough to the surface of the cake was smooth and glaze it nicely, lay. Leave to rise for some time.

After besieged the dough, spread it on the forms (I have 3 out of the cake: -1 18cm, 14cm - 2), wait until it rises in the forms to 2/3 with egg yolk and bake it in the oven. I put on 180 degrees for about 45-50 minutes.

Take out from oven and decorate with glaze. This year I was part of was decorated with sugar paste with condensed milk and some Royal icing. Bon appetit!
