Recipe "Mini cakes on dry yeast"
Ingredients for 7-9 servings
milk 1%
500 ml
flour
800-850 g
eggs
3 pcs. (1 protein + 3 yolks )
butter 82.5%
200 g
sugar
300g
yeast
12 g
cured cranberries
150 g
fried almonds
50 g
nutmeg
pinch
salt
pinch
chocolate drops
2 packs (for decoration)
Step 1/7
Heat the milk to a comfortable hand temperature, add 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 tablespoon of flour, add yeast, stir and leave for 10-15 minutes.
Step 2/7
If a foam "cap" appeared on the mixture, it means that everything is fine and you can continue.
Step 3/7
Beat 1 egg and 2 yolks with white sugar. Melt the oil in the microwave or low heat, do not bring to a boil. Add the egg mixture to the yeast, pour in the melted, but not hot oil, mix everything.
Step 4/7
Add the sifted flour in small portions and stir into the dough so that it turns out thick enough, but still sticky. Then the cakes will be airborne.
Step 5/7
Thoroughly knead the dough with a spatula, add nutmeg, chopped nuts and cranberries, mix and leave in a warm place for 30-40 minutes.
Step 6/7
Preheat the oven to 180C. Arrange the dough in molds, filling them about half, and put in a hot oven. The baking time depends on the size of the cakes: 20 minutes will be enough for very small cakes for muffins, and ordinary cakes may need 40-50 minutes. Check readiness with a wooden skewer, it should come out dry from the middle of the cake. Cool the finished cakes, remove from the molds and leave, covered with a dry cloth for several hours or overnight. During this time, moisture in the test will be redistributed and the cake will be ready.
Step 7/7
To decorate, melt the chocolate drops over a very low heat or water bath, stirring constantly, add 1-2 tbsp. tablespoons of milk or cream. Pour over the chocolate cakes, garnish with nuts.
