Russian Easter Bread – Kulich

Sunday, April 19th, 2009

It’s my family tradition. My mother and grandmothers (and grand-grandmothers) baked Kulich every year for Easter. It’s the easiest recipe of cake. You just mix ingredients, put dough in molds, wait for rise and bake. There is two varieties – plain and chocolate. You need coffee or juice cans (2 lb) for molds.

Adapted from All Recipes. An unusual way of serving dishes (for me). It is stuffing in the form of balls, isn't it? But I like it because of the combination of flavors of spinach and parmesan.
