Quick and Easy Kefir Cake

A very quick and easy recipe for a kefir cake that will take you literally 5 minutes to prepare. The rest of the time, you will just wait for your beauty to bake. It has a very soft and moist texture, and by adding orange or lemon zest, as well as candied fruits or nuts (you choose) you will get a truly festive and very delicious cake.

Eggs

3 large

Kefir (2.5% fat)

1 cup

Neutral-tasting vegetable oil

1/2 cup

Vanilla (vanilla sugar)

Flour

1 1/2 cups

Salt

1/2 tsp

Sugar

1/2 cup

Baking powder

1 1/2 tsp

Candied fruits

1/2 cup

Raisins

1/4 cup

To prepare the kefir cake, first preheat the oven to 170 degrees Fahrenheit with top-bottom heat and convection mode. And prepare the baking pan right away. I use a rectangular pan measuring 8 x 4 inches with a height of 2.5 inches. Simply line the pan with parchment paper of a suitable size.

I always use silicone-coated parchment paper, no need to grease it additionally. If you have regular parchment paper, grease it with vegetable or butter.

Next, mix the liquid ingredients in one container: eggs, kefir, vegetable oil, and vanilla. Mix everything with a fork or whisk.

In another container, mix the dry ingredients: sifted flour with baking powder and salt, sugar. Mix well.

Mix the dry ingredients with the liquid ones and add candied fruits and raisins. Mix well.

I rinsed the raisins with water beforehand and dried them with a paper towel.

Spread the batter in the pan and place it in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes.

Check the cake for doneness with a wooden skewer. Insert the skewer in the middle of the cake, remove it, if it's dry - the cake is ready, if not, bake it a little longer. Enjoy your aromatic kefir cake with a nice cup of tea!
