Delicious Easter Cakes for Your Festive Table

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt.

In a separate bowl, dissolve yeast in warmed milk and let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.

Then, add the yeast mixture to the dry ingredients, along with the melted butter and eggs. Mix well until a dough forms.

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 2 hours, or until doubled in size.

Once risen, punch down the dough to release excess air.

Divide the dough into portions and shape into round cakes. Ensure to add the mixed dried fruits and chocolates to each portion before sealing them tightly.

Place the shaped cakes into greased baking pans, then cover them with a towel and allow them to rise again for about 30 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Bake the cakes for about 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once done, remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

While the cakes are cooling, prepare the chocolate decoration by melting the dark chocolate.

Once the cakes are completely cooled, drizzle the melted chocolate over the top or dip the tops for a more elegant look.

Finish with decorative candies and edible flowers for a festive touch.
