Kulich with rum flavored raisins and walnuts
Orthodox Easter is coming soon. This year it will be celebrated on April, the 4th. As each year I am going to bake traditional Russian Easter cake called “Kulich”. Traditionally the cake is prepared 1 or 2 days ahead as well as eggs painting. It is the most awaited Easter dish. When I was a little girl I could hardly wait for Easter morning when you are allowed to eat “Kulich” and crash Easter eggs. Kulich is a rich, sweet bread which is baked in a tall mold and decorated with white sugar icing and candy sprinkles. I particularly love this cake. I love making it and I love eating it. Its taste and smell take me back to my childhood when my grandma Klavdiya (my dad’s mom) made it for the whole family. Unfortunately when my grandma Klavdiya was alive, I didn’t ask her for the recipe. But my grandmom Galina (my mom’s mom) was happy to share with me her recipe of kulich. Since that time I closely follow her recipe and my kulich turned to be fluffy, moist and flavored. What I love about it ? While the cake is baking, it fills the house with a dreamy heavenly cake smell. If you want to give a try to this wonderful Easter cake, follow my instructions!

½ cup of lukewarm milk + 2 tablespoons of milk for dissolving fresh yeast in it

Form a ball and put it into a large bowl. Cover with wet towel.
Let it rest for 1 hour in a warm place. It will rise and double its volume.
Knead the dough again for about 10-15 minutes, pounding it against the table occasionally. The more you knead, the more airy the dough.
Let it rest for another 1 hour.
In the meantime, place rum and raisins in a small bowl and allow to stand for 1 hour. Then take off the liquid.
When the dough is ready, incorporate raisins and walnuts. Mix all together.
Then divide the dough in half and put it in greased kulich moulds.
Bake kulich at pre-heated oven at 180 C for 45 minutes.
Enjoy your meal and Happy Easter !
