Ingredients for Easter cakes with sugar-lemon cream: To make the dough you will need: eggs – 4 pieces, vanilla – ½ tsp, flour – 3 cups, sugar – 1 cup (200 grams), 35% fat cream – 180 ml, butter – 100 grams, salt – ½ tsp, yeast – 50 grams. To make the sugar-lemon cream you will need: egg whites – 4 pieces, powdered sugar – 200 grams, butter – 20 grams, juice of half a lemon.

Recipe for making Easter cakes with sugar-lemon cream: First, prepare the starter for the dough. To do this, heat the cream and dissolve the yeast in them, then add 1 cup of flour and let the starter rest in a warm place. In the meantime, while the starter is resting, prepare the dough for the Easter cakes. First, beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla with a mixer until the mixture is smooth.

Then add the butter and salt, and mix well. Add nuts or raisins to the dough, or you can add dried apricots or prunes, or candied fruits – choose what you like best. When the starter has risen, pour the egg mixture into it and add the remaining flour. Knead the dough for some time and leave it for two hours. During this time, it should increase in volume by about two times. When the dough has risen, knead it again and let it rest.

Now transfer the dough into the pre-prepared forms and bake in the oven at 180-200 degrees Celsius for 40-50 minutes. In the meantime, while the cakes are baking, prepare the sugar-lemon cream. To do this, beat the egg whites until they increase in volume by about 3-4 times. While continuing to beat, add the powdered sugar in small portions, then add the melted butter and squeeze in the lemon juice. Mix the resulting mass well and let it cool.

When the cakes are ready, take them out of the oven and let them cool. Then decorate them on top with the sugar-lemon cream and sprinkle with candy sprinkles. These small cakes will look great on your festive table. They are very convenient to take with you as a treat to someone’s house. They will look beautiful in a woven basket with Easter eggs. And children will be delighted that each of them has their own personal Easter cake.
