Cakes from Alexandria test

Description

Recipe found on the Internet. This is the easiest recipe I know, combined with excellent taste. The cakes are delicate, soft, airy and, most importantly, not dry. The author wrote: "Sweet, tender, soft... Delicious I ever ate. Grandma's recipe, she prepares this recipe for several decades." Can't agree with her 100%. Tea with cakes and drank the whole family, the family Council decided that kolomba much tastier. From the stated norms of the products is received a lot of cakes. We can safely divide by 2, 3, and 4. I was made out of 1/4 part. Get 4 cakes.

Cooking

To prepare products for the dough to have everything at hand. In warm milk dissolve the yeast.

Eggs lightly whisk, the butter cut into pieces and add to eggs.

Add sugar.

Pour the milk with the dissolved yeast.

Mix well, but without fanaticism, oil may remain small pieces, wrap and leave in a warm place for 8-12 hours (I left overnight).

In the morning to prepare foods for the test. Half the rules of raisins I substituted candied, but I have to say that this amount seemed not enough for cakes. You can see the cut that they are almost not visible. I think you can safely increase their number by half.

Here is our sourdough this morning.

Add in the yeast mixture, salt, vanilla sugar (I substituted vanilla flavoring), brandy, raisins and candied fruit.

The top sift the flour, piece by piece involving it in the dough. And the hands should be lubricated periodically with vegetable oil.

So knead a soft, sticky, sticky dough, a little thicker than for pancakes

But with the hand portion of the test drain should not.

Tighten with cling film and leave for proofing in a warm place for an hour and a half until it has doubled in volume.

The dough an hour and a half. I think if the place was more, it still rose.

Put the dough in molds 1/3 of the volume, wait until it is 3/4 the height of the forms.

Put in a preheated 180*C oven. Bake until ready. I have a mold small cakes baked for about 40 minutes. The readiness check with a toothpick.

Finished cakes remove from the oven, shake out the forms and allow to cool on a wire rack.

The top of the cooled cakes to grease with glaze, decorate as desired.
