Butter and flour (and put parchment paper on the bottom) of 3, 9" springform pans if making full cakes.
Allow the dough to double in size. When ready empty onto a countertop dusted in flour. Knead gently, then divide into three parts. If you are using the same size tins, divide evenly, if not, adjust accordingly.
For a regular cake, shape each piece into a round ball and place into a buttered and floured tin (you can add parchment paper to the bottoms for easy removal.
For a bundt cake, you will still start with a round ball. (If you don't have a bundt tin, you can use a glass or jar filled with rice, and buttered, or covered on the outside).
When you have the round, use your fingers to make a hole in the center. Stretch the middle hole, and place into the tin and repeat with the other two pieces of dough. Cover and allow to rise for 3 to 5 hours, until well-risen.Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C).
Bake the Easter cakes for approximately 25 minutes or until the cake is ready. They should be golden brown and extremely light (in weight).
Allow to cool in the pan for about 45 minutes, then remove sides, bottom, paper and the glass jar (twist and turn to remove gently).
While the cakes are cooling, make the icing.
