Small Easter cakes with raisins and icing

Small Easter cakes with raisins and icing

Portions: 8 persons | Preparation time: 80 minutes

These little Easter cakes are aromatic, super soft and just the perfect dessert for Easter. The preparation is not difficult, but takes time because the yeast dough takes its time. A yeast dough is made from the ingredients, which should rise sufficiently. Baked in the oven, the small Easter cakes with sugar icing only have to be arranged nicely.
