3 Rinse the raisins so that no debris remains in it. Pour hot water over the berries and leave to steam for 5 minutes. Then drain the liquid and lay the dried fruit on a towel to dry.
4 Separate the whites from the yolks. Beat the egg whites together with the salt with a mixer. You should get a thick white foam. Suffice it to beat until soft peaks.
5 Mash the yolks with sugar until whitened.
6.Add the whites, yolks, vanillin and soft butter to the matched brew. Stir until smooth.
7.Add flour in small portions and stir into the dough. The amount of flour must be controlled in order to obtain the desired consistency of the workpiece. At first, the mass will stick strongly to your hands. When the moment comes that it is less sticky, lagging behind the hands, it means that there is enough flour. In this case, the dough should not be hard and dense. It is very soft.
8.Pour vegetable oil into the dough and knead for another 15-20 minutes. The result is a viscous, soft mass.
9.Add raisins, previously doused in a little flour, and candied fruits. Mix again with your hands so that all the fruits are evenly distributed over the cake dough.
10 Cover the container with the workpiece with a towel and leave in warm place for 2 hours to rise. Then knead the dough and let it rise a second time. Now it will happen faster – in 1.5 hours.
11.Lubricate the multicooker bowl with vegetable oil. Wrap the dough that came up a second time and put it in this bowl. Place in a slow cooker, close the lid and set the Yogurt program for 20 minutes. Or, in Auto Brew mode, select a temperature of 40º.
12 The dough will do, you no longer need to crush it, but set the “Baking” mode for 1 hour and 20 minutes. Cook with the lid closed until the end of the program, do not drop in ahead of time. Check the readiness with a toothpick – it should come out dry from the dough. Continue baking until tender, if necessary.

Alexandria Easter cake with baked milk – a classic recipe
Alexandria cake dough is one of the most popular. Our grandmothers also baked according to this recipe. There is a technological peculiarity here. Dough is kneaded in the evening and left overnight for fermentation. At the same time, baking is also put into it, which is not typical for a conventional recipe.
The result is very soft, sweet, porous cakes with a pleasant aroma.
Ingredients:
for dough:
- baked milk – 0.5 l
- sugar – 500 gr.
- butter – 250 gr.
- eggs – 6 pcs. 2 yolks
- pressed yeast – 75 gr.
All components must be warm.
for the test:
- flour – 1.2 kg
- cognac – 2 tablespoons
- raisins – 150 gr.
- candied fruits – 150 gr.
- zest of 1 lemon
- zest of 1 orange
- vanillin – 2 sachets
- salt – 0.5 tsp
- vegetable oil
Preparation:
1 As I already wrote, in the evening you need to make a dough and leave it until morning. The next day, you can already knead the dough. Therefore, first prepare all the ingredients for the dough.
Important! The butter should be very soft. But you can't drown it. Just take it (and eggs too) out of the refrigerator in advance, in 30-50 minutes it will reach the desired consistency.
2 Warm the milk slightly and crush dry yeast into it. Stir to dissolve the yeast completely.
3 Immediately take a large container and beat eggs and yolks into it. Whisk until smooth, no foam required.
4 Pour milk with yeast to the eggs, add sugar and add soft butter.
5 Whisk the ingredients well. This completes the first stage. Cover the kneaded dish with cling film or a lid and leave at room temperature for 8-12 hours.
6 When the right amount of time has passed, you can start preparing the dough itself based on the resulting sourdough. Rinse the raisins several times and cover with boiling water for 10 minutes. Then drain the water and dry the berries.
7 Take out the dough, stir it. She has already fermented, she will not have a foam cap, but the bubbles will come out. Add salt, finely grated orange and lemon zest, cognac or aromatic liqueur, vanillin, mix.
Don't be afraid to add alcohol to baked goods. All the alcohol will evaporate, but the aroma will remain.
8 Sift flour twice. Introduce it in portions into the dough, stirring thoroughly. When half of the flour is introduced, you need to add the filling – raisins and candied fruits. The raisins must be dry. For better distribution over the dough, it must be mixed with a small amount of flour.
9 Stir in the filling and continue adding flour. Since its quality is different for everyone, you may need a little more or a little less than the specified norm.
10.When it becomes difficult to stir with a spoon, knead with your hands. The dough should be very viscous, soft, sticky to your hands. In no case should it be tight, elastic and durable. Hand knead for another 15 minutes to disperse the flour gluten.
11 Cover the container with something and place it in a warm place to rise for 1.5-2 hours. You can put it in a switched off oven, just turn on the light bulb.
12 The dough rises very well, make sure that it does not run over the edge. Lubricate your hands with vegetable oil before exercising.
13.Album the dough, pinch off a piece from it, form a ball and place in molds. There is no need to grease paper forms. Fill them in no more than 1/3. Oil your hands periodically, as the workpiece is sticky.
14.Filled molds should be sent to a warm place for 1 hour for the dough to rise again. You can immediately put them in the turned off oven. When the mass reaches the edge of the form, turn on the heat to 180º and bake for 40-50 minutes until cooked.
15 Remove the finished Easter cakes from the oven, let them cool and cover with icing. Sprinkle with decorations immediately. Leave until the glaze hardens completely. In fact, baking Easter buns from Alexandrian dough is not at all difficult. Stock up on a good mood and everything will turn out perfectly.
