Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the dry ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make sure to blend them well until evenly mixed. Sifting the dry ingredients can help to aerate them and make your cake fluffier.

Step 2

Mix wet ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Ensure these ingredients are mixed thoroughly. You want them to be well combined before introducing them to the dry ingredients for better integration.

Step 3

Combine wet and dry mixtures

Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Stir gently using a spatula or wooden spoon until you notice no dry flour is left. Avoid over-mixing to ensure your cake remains tender.

Step 4

Add raisins

Fold in the raisins gently. If you prefer more raisins, feel free to adjust the quantity according to your taste. Make sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 5

Preheat the oven and prepare the pan

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Take a cake pan and grease it with some butter or line it with baking paper. This will prevent the cake from sticking and allow for easy removal once baked.

Step 6

Bake the cake

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Place it into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45-50 minutes. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.

Step 7

Cool and serve

Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. After that, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. This cake remains moist and delicious even after a few days, making it a perfect treat for any occasion.

Servings

What could be better than enjoying your homemade Kulich with some delightful companions? Here are some **serving suggestions** to elevate your experience:

1. **Serve it warm!** A freshly baked Kulich is at its best when slightly warm. Pair it with a dollop of homemade butter or cream cheese spread for a creamy contrast. 🧈

2. **Add toppings!** Consider drizzling a light icing made of powdered sugar and lemon juice over the top to give it a sweet finish. 🍋

3. **Create a brunch spread!** Slice the Kulich and present it as part of a festive brunch alongside fresh fruits, jams, and even a selection of cheeses for a flavorful combination. 🥂

4. **Make it memorable!** Serve your Kulich as a centerpiece at gatherings, like Easter brunch or family get-togethers, sparking joy and conversation around the table.

Faq

  • What do I do if my dough is too sticky?

    If your dough feels overly sticky, you can gradually add a little more flour. Just be careful not to add too much, as it can make the Kulich dry.

  • How can I tell when my Kulich is done baking?

    Your Kulich is ready when it has a golden brown color on top, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Trust your instincts!

  • Can I double the recipe easily?

    Yes, this recipe is easily scalable. Just make sure to use larger bowls and pans to accommodate the increased quantities.

  • What can I add to customize my Kulich?

    You can get creative! Adding dried fruits, nuts, or even citrus zest can enhance the flavor profile and make it your own.

  • How do I store my Kulich to keep it fresh?

    Wrap it in plastic wrap and store it in an airtight container at room temperature. It can last up to a week!

  • Can I freeze the Kulich?

    Absolutely! Slice it up and freeze individual portions. Just thaw it when you're ready to enjoy a piece—it's still delicious!
