Yeast cake with raspberries
Description
It pairs perfectly with tea and coffee. Such a raspberry pie, you could say, is a culinary classic. It is made from ordinary, rich dough, but always turns out fluffy, aromatic, and very tasty. Slice the pie and immediately place it in a pot with a lid. It will stay fresh for at least two days, provided you don’t eat it all in the meantime. Raspberry works both fresh and frozen. Serve it cooled or slightly warm.

Step 9
Divide the dough into two parts. Roll out one part into a sheet and place it in a baking pan. My pan is 22 centimeters in diameter with removable sides. In this case it’s convenient to remove the sides. Sprinkle the dough with starch so it absorbs the juice from the berries. Lay out the raspberries. Do not thaw frozen raspberries.

Step 10
Roll out the second portion of the dough as well and make a pattern. I have a special roller for this purpose. You can simply make cuts with a knife. Or you can choose not to make cuts in the dough. Put on the rim and let the dough rest for 30‑40 minutes. Then brush with egg yolk and send it to the oven.
