Here are a few simple recipes, from which you can choose any and cook a kefir cake on it.

Striped zebra pie is familiar to everyone. But it can be improved and turned into a cake. To bake a Zebra cake on kefir, you will need:

• margarine - 100g;
• egg - 3 pieces;
• kefir - 1 glass;
• flour - one and a half glasses;
• sugar - 180g;
• cocoa powder - 2 table. spoons;
• soda - 1/5 teaspoon;
• vanilla salt can be added to taste.

If desired, you can add to the dough walnuts. The Zebra cake is prepared on kefir as follows: margarine must be melted over low heat, putting it first in a metal bowl. When the margarine has completely melted, remove it from the stove, add sugar to it and mix everything very carefully. Next, eggs are laid, kefir with soda quenched in it (two or three tablespoons of kefir should be left) and flour. All this must be mixed homogeneous mass. Those who want to add nuts to this kefir cake can pour them into the dough at this stage. Now we divide what we have into two parts, that is, we shift half of the dough into another container. We mix vanillin into one part, and cocoa and the remaining few tablespoons of kefir into the other, so that because of cocoa this part of the dough does not become thicker than the “white” half.

Next, grease the baking dish with oil and proceed to create “strips”: alternately pour a spoon into the center of the mold chocolate dough, then vanilla. And so on until the dough in both containers runs out. We put the resulting "zebra" for 40-50 minutes in the oven, which must first be heated to 180 degrees. When the cake is ready, it remains only to turn it into a cake. To do this, you need to take a sufficiently long knife and cut the cake horizontally to get a "base" and a "lid". The base can be smeared with any cream, both custard and oil (butter + condensed milk) or sour cream. Cover with a “lid” on top, which is also well lubricated with cream. You can decorate the resulting kefir cake at your discretion (sprinkle with nuts, candied fruit, chocolate chips, etc.).

• flour - 1 cup;
• sugar - a quarter cup;
• soda - 1 teaspoon.

Mix all the ingredients well and bake in a baking dish or a special frying pan. When the cake has cooled, cut it across to get two cakes, which we grease sour cream.

For sour cream, you need to take one glass of fairly thick sour cream and half a glass of sugar, mix well or beat with a mixer. finished cake on kefir, decorate with fruits, nuts or grated chocolate.

Baking time - 20-30 minutes. To prevent the cake from falling, do not open the oven. This pie can be eaten in the form in which you took it out of the oven, or you can, just like in the previous recipes, cut it into two cakes and spread with any cream or jam.

Chocolate cake on kefir "Fantastic" is completely ready! Happy tea!

Why do we love sweet pastries on kefir so much? Everything is very simple. Kefir literally makes the dough tender, crumbly, having a refined and unique taste. And the vast majority of gourmets like chocolate cakes, so there is nothing surprising in the fact that the combination of kefir and cocoa powder in the batch makes such a dessert especially desirable both on the festive table and as the main delicacy of the weekend. Let's look at several popular options for this magnificent dessert at once.

Recipe: Zebra kefir cake

This cake is a favorite for many housewives who have been baking their masterpieces since time immemorial. The dish turns out to be incredibly tasty, spectacular, and at the same time simple to perform. If you master this recipe, you will be more likely to predict its success. Do not be surprised if enthusiastic relatives, and even neighbors, ask again and again to repeat the “same” Zebra cake. The recipe for kefir requires the following ingredients for execution:

• sifted wheat flour - 2 cups;
• fat-free kefir - 1 cup;
• butter melted to a liquid consistency - 200 gr;
• sugar - 1.5 cups;
• egg - 5 pieces;
• cocoa powder - 2 tbsp. spoons;
• baking soda - 0.5 teaspoons.

Dough preparation

So, having collected all the necessary components, we proceed to kneading the dough, which in a matter of minutes with the help of magic hands and the oven will turn into an equally magical Zebra cake. The kefir recipe allows you to replace the fermented milk product with low-fat sour cream. It is better if it is liquid sour cream.

We take a bowl, put eggs in it and beat them with granulated sugar to a thick white foam.

Sift the flour and send it to the resulting egg foam, knead with a whisk. We extinguish the baking soda with vinegar directly in the spoon and combine the resulting baking powder with the dough. You have to be careful with oil. Before sending the melted component to the test, it must be cooled. The first stage of kneading is almost completed. It remains to add kefir (sour cream) and beat the sweet mass with a mixer.

Effective appearance

The kefir cake presented to your attention, the photo of which looks so impressive and appetizing, has one secret. We will divide the resulting mass into two equal parts. Therefore, we stock up on two vessels in advance. In one of them we add 2 more tablespoons of wheat flour, and in the other - the same portion of cocoa powder. Now we no longer need a mixer, we will arm ourselves with a spoon or a whisk and begin to grind the flour and cocoa until the consistency is homogeneous with the rest of the composition. As the recipe recommends, the kefir cake should have the consistency of fairly liquid sour cream and spread well before being sent to the baking dish.

Baking process

Any round, wide pan with high edges will do. The oven can already be heated, and before you start sculpting impromptu strips, grease the mold vegetable oil. Very good if bulk dough cook directly in the saucepan. With a pen, it will be much more convenient to control the process of alternating dosing of dough of different colors. This kefir chocolate cake recipe ensures that the strips don't smear or penetrate each other. We begin to pour from the very center about one tablespoon, alternating the compositions. When we reach the last drop, characteristic stripes will be clearly visible on the surface. The same can be said about the inside, but we will see this after cutting the finished cake.

Some subtleties

This simple kefir cake should take about half an hour in the oven at 190 degrees. This does not mean at all that for this time you can forget about the process, not interfere in it, and not take any part. If you are not sure about your oven and admit that the top may burn and the middle may be raw, then from time to time you need to test the condition of the cake. In the event that the top is browned enough, and the middle is still damp, food foil will come to the rescue as an impromptu lid for the pie.

Recipe: kefir cake "Nochenka"

Another very effective delicious dessert, which is not ashamed to offer guests as an apotheosis holiday table.

Such a chocolate cake on kefir can not do without liquid gentle cream, which will sufficiently soak the cakes from the inside.

Cooking cream

To get perfect cream, you need to boil one and a half glasses of milk along with granulated sugar. We leave one more glass of milk for whipping with egg and flour and further introducing the mass into the boiling composition. Cook over moderate heat, stirring continuously for about 7 minutes. If after this time the mass does not thicken, cook a little more. We cool the finished cream and beat with a mixer with the amount of butter required according to the recipe.
