Pastries, Easter cakes and cupcakes are something favorite of Bulgarians, especially in his childhood. Who does not remember the pleasant aroma that comes from the kitchen, just baked cake, which leads us as if enchanted there.
Preparing these temptations seems an easy and enjoyable activity. This is true only if the basic rules for making a fluffy cake or Easter cake are followed. However, if you have not mastered them, your endeavor is doomed to failure.
It is best to measure the exact products for the cake in advance to facilitate the work process. One of the most important conditions for the preparation of a quality cake or pastry is the use of quality yeast. It must be stored properly and within the shelf life.
When preparing the dough, sift the flour into a bowl and mix the dry yeast well in it. When adding other products and liquids, they should be at room temperature. Eggs, for example, should not be beaten immediately after being removed from the refrigerator, but left for a while at room temperature.
Extremely important for a good cake is how the eggs are broken, if there are any in the recipe. This is done by separating the egg whites from the yolks, stirring for about 1-2 minutes and adding 3/4 of the sugar. Beat with a mixer until roses begin to form. They must be hardened so that they do not spill when the bowl is turned upside down.
Beat the yolks with the remaining 1/4 of the sugar until, as in the case of the whites, the mixture begins to form into roses. When the egg whites and yolks are broken, the yolks are added to the egg whites gradually without using a mixer.
All products must always be broken in one direction - clockwise or counterclockwise.
The dough should be well kneaded. It will be best to first mix with a dough hook on a low degree, then on a high degree for about 5 minutes. The more the dough is mixed, the fluffier the cake will become.
The already kneaded dough is left covered with a damp cloth or oiled foil to stand in a warm place. Thus, it will visibly increase its volume.
All utensils in which you will bake your cake must be dry. The pan in which it will be baked is greased with oil and sprinkled with flour. The cake is baked in the middle of the oven.
Depending on the type of pastry, first the temperature is stronger at the bottom for 10-15 minutes until the cake cracks at the top. Then the upper reotan is released and the cake is baked until dry.
If during baking it starts to burn on top, but is still raw inside, put a sheet of aluminum foil, but without pressing its edges to the form - let the cake breathe so that it can swell easily.
When ready, the cake is left to cool to peel off more easily.
