Kulich (Russian Easter Cake)

"These cakes are traditionally cooked and eaten at Russian Orthodox Easter to break the fast. Often accompanied by pashka, a sweet, fruity cheese. These do take a little bit of effort, but it is definitely worth it. They are similar to panettone. Total time includes rising times of 3.5 hours."
