10. Put the Easter cakes in oiled molds. And leave in a warm place for about half an hour so that the dough rises a little more.

Tip: If the tops are getting too brown, cover the cakes with foil.
12.Remove the finished cruffins from the oven and let them cool down. Sprinkle with powdered sugar or almond flakes, if desired.
Note: Cruffins are not glazed due to their unusual and interesting appearance.
