Instructions
Step 1
Start by rinsing the **millet** thoroughly under cold water. This step helps remove any bitterness from the grains. Next, cook the millet in a saucepan with water for about 15-20 minutes over medium heat, or until tender and all water is absorbed.
Once done, let it cool slightly before blending.
Step 2
Using an immersion blender, puree the cooked millet until it reaches a smooth consistency. This will serve as the base for your cake. After blending, transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
To the pureed millet, add the **coconut milk**, **coconut oil**, and the **lemon juice**. Mix well until everything is fully combined and the mixture is smooth. Then, slowly incorporate the **coconut flour**, **cinnamon**, and **salt** into the bowl. Stir until a uniform batter is formed.
If desired, mix in the dried fruits and nuts for added texture and flavor.
Step 4
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). While the oven heats, greasing your baking dish with a little coconut oil. You can use a cake pan or muffin tins for mini cakes. This helps prevent sticking and makes for easy removal.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the dish for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 6
For **glazing**, you can use coconut yogurt or your preferred topping. Spread the glaze generously over the cooled cake or drizzle it for a beautiful finish. Decorate with additional nuts or dried fruits if desired.
Your healthy, gluten-free Easter cake is now ready to be enjoyed with family and friends. Let the celebration begin!

Equipment
A blender is essential for achieving the perfect smooth texture of cooked millet before mixing it with other ingredients. If you don't have a blender, a food processor works well too!
If you want to make mini kulich, silicone muffin molds are great as they make it easy to remove the kulich after baking. Choose a non-stick option for easy releasing!

Feel free to explore! Each batch can be a new adventure in flavor!
Faq
- Beginner: Can I use regular flour instead of coconut flour?
While coconut flour is gluten-free, regular flour contains gluten, which won't work for this healthy recipe. It's best to stick with gluten-free options to maintain the integrity of the kulich.
- Beginner: How do I know when the kulich is baked properly?
The kulich is ready when it's golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Give it a gentle shake; it should feel firm but springy!
- Intermediate: Can I add spices to the batter?
Absolutely! You can enhance the flavor by adding spices like nutmeg or ginger. Feel free to experiment with flavors you love!
- Intermediate: How can I make the kulich moister?
If you prefer a moister kulich, consider adding a bit of applesauce or an extra tablespoon of coconut milk to the batter. These additions can improve texture without adding refined sugar.
- Experienced: Can I substitute the sweetener with something else?
Yes, you can substitute with other natural sweeteners like maple syrup or agave nectar. Just adjust the quantity based on their sweetness level!
- Experienced: How do I prevent the kulich from sticking to the mold?
To prevent sticking, ensure you grease your molds well with coconut oil or line them with parchment paper. If using silicone molds, there’s less risk of sticking, but greasing still helps!
