Kefir is a tasty and healthy product that can always be used in the kitchen.

Kefir cake: recipes, general principles of preparation
To prepare a cake on kefir, use a product of any fat content. The main thing is that unlike, for example, from pancakes or pancakes, kefir should be fresh, without a clear hint of acidification.
It is recommended to sift flour before cooking. Thanks to this simple procedure, the dough will rise well, and the finished cakes will turn out tender and airy.
And then there are no difficulties. For baking cakes, all the ingredients of the dough are mixed and baked in a greased form. The filling or cream for the cake on kefir is used either according to the recipe, or at your own discretion.
Decorate cakes mainly with creams, icing, nuts, powdered sugar, condensed milk, grated chocolate, coconut, berries and fruits.
