I baked the Kremlin kulich for Easter, I want to dedicate a separate article to it

This year by accident I saw the recipe of the Russian kulich “Kremlin”. It was just before Easter. I was interested, because I had previously baked quite ordinary cakes, and not some special ones. The recipe used the same for years.

From the kulichs in the Kremlin relatives were delighted. My neighbor bought it, so she asked for a recipe. Previously I did not understand what the main highlight of the festive pastries for the first persons of the state, but now I want to share this knowledge. Be sure to keep this recipe for cookies in 2022.



The preparation of the test begins quite normally. The entire grammar is designed to baking one box, so keep this in mind and adjust for the right number of cakes. You will need a lot of things to make a Kremlin cake.

The ingredients
  • 450g flour
  • 130g butter
  • 50 ml of milk
  • 30ml cognac
  • 15g dry yeast
  • 170g sugar
  • eggs
  • raisins
  • vanillin
  • salt
  • cereal
  • powdering




Cooking the dough Flour for the test must be carefully sifted several times. You can't miss the smallest motif. For opar should mix flour, warm milk, yeast, eggs. The flour is poured out gradually so that the dough is more convenient to mix. After that, the steam should be covered with a towel and removed in a warm place. Let him stand for an hour and a half and rest. During this time, the dough should double.

Kremlin confectioners don’t have time for long waits, so they leave the steam in the transfer cabinet for about 45 minutes. State orders are not waiting, because for 3-4 hours you need to make about 50 cakes.

To the rested dough, you need to pour the remaining milk, melted butter, salt, sugar, vanillin. Make sure that all liquid ingredients are at least room temperature, and not immediately from the refrigerator. When all the ingredients are added, The test needs to be given time to rest.

Filling. The main secret of the recipe of Russian kulich in the Kremlin - soaking raisins in cognac. Cognac must be well aged (at least 3 years). So advise the confectioners of the plant "Kremlin", where they bake cakes for the first persons of the state.

Baking Forms for baking should be covered with parchment or pick up special holiday paper packaging. They are embedded in a metal container and do not allow the dough to stick. In addition, the form must be filled only by 2/3, because the dough during baking will also increase in size.

Kulichi should be lubricated with egg yolk for an appetizing ruddy crust. Take a wreath and, without skimping on the yolk, miss the entire top of the baking. After that, the pastes can be sent to the oven heated to 190 degrees, 45 minutes. After I have finished everything, I say a prayer quietly. So that the cakes are successfully baked and all loved ones to taste.

While decorating already glazed pastries, show your imagination. You can use a curly sprinkle, make various figures from mastic, add a food dye to the glaze and make your paste unique.

“Kremlin” cakes are decorated with various figures of chocolate, add elements of oil cream, decorate with fudge. By the way, you can decorate the cakes with the whole friendly family. Try it. It's fun. You will definitely feel that the bright holiday of Easter is already on the threshold.
