A simple kefir cake - basic technological principles
Lush muffins, pies or other pastries are the dream of every housewife. Yeast dough it is customary for us to cook for pies, kulebyak, pies and other types classic baking
Kefir-based dough can also be used for the listed products. But it, in any variations - on kefir, yogurt or sour cream - is most often used to make a variety of homemade cakes.
Lactic acid bacteria improve the dough and make finished goods lush and light, along with other components of cakes that provide a porous structure. Their action is similar to the work of yeast that enters a favorable nutrient medium, which for acidophilia, lacto- and bifidobacteria are the same sugar and flour.
True, dairy microorganisms work more slowly than their “colleagues”, but their activity is quite enough to obtain soft and porous cake layers. Moreover, the composition of the dough for cakes includes other components that also contribute to obtaining the necessary texture. For example, beaten eggs and butter additionally saturate the dough with air bubbles. The duration and intensity of whipping for the listed products is different, which must also be taken into account when combining the dough ingredients. In such cases, the mechanical processing of the dough must be done separately, and only after that the dough components with different properties are combined. Knowledge of the elementary laws of biochemistry in this matter will not be superfluous.
So, kefir does not require long whipping, for this ingredient, or rather, lactic bacteria, you need nutrition (sugar and flour), a warm and humid environment, enough time for the dough to be saturated with air bubbles as a result of their work. The speed of this reaction is accelerated by an alkaline environment in which gas exchange occurs much more intensively. Therefore, soda and other baking powder are often added to kefir-based dough. Soda is also part of other types unleavened dough without kefir, but in the obligatory “accompaniment” of it with vinegar or lemon juice. For the kefir test, the use of additional acidic components is necessary only if it is necessary to adjust the ratio of acidic and alkaline environments.

A simple kefir cake recipe
Products for the test
- Kefir;
- Flour;
- Sugar.
You need to take 1 glass of these products.

The cream can be made any way you like. But it seems to me that cream of sour cream is most suitable for this cake.
Kefir cake recipe
First you need to sift the flour, and then mix it with cocoa to get a mass of the same color.
Add soda to kefir and leave for 5 minutes. After that, add sugar to kefir and mix well. Make sure the sugar dissolves completely.
After that, combine the flour and kefir, mix well and pour into a baking dish.
Bake at 180C for 25 minutes.
After the cake has cooled, leave it for a while to cool down. And then, cut it into 2 halves and brush with cream.
Cream, as I wrote above, can be prepared from sour cream. To do this, mix sour cream with sugar and grease the cakes. Decorate to your taste.
However, there is one small nuance in the preparation of sour cream. For example, when you mix sour cream with sugar, the cream turns out to be too liquid and it just doesn’t work for it to stay in its place, where it was put. 
First, I spread the sour cream in a gauze cloth, wrap it up and put a small weight on top. So all the excess liquid drains from the sour cream and in the end it turns out pretty thick cream, which does not spread anywhere.
Kefir has become widespread in modern industry thanks to lactic acid bacteria, which are very useful for humans.

Kefir cake is one of the desserts that are well absorbed by the body due to the presence of this fermented milk product.
A bit of history and a recipe for making kefir at home
In all nationalities there are products that are made from milk, but have large quantity useful properties than the original product. Of course, there is still a debate about what is healthier than milk or kefir, for everyone it is individual. But kefir helps to maintain and restore strength after operations and long-term illnesses, as it is completely broken down and absorbed by the body.
This fermented milk product was presented to us by North Ossetia. There are many legends about the origin of kefir. The main one is that the hostess forgot about the milk left on the porch and it turned sour. After that, she poured the liquid from the jug, but the leaven did not pass into the neck, and later they poured into the same dish fresh milk and it turned into kefir. 
There may be some truth in this legend, since the recipe for kefir is just that.
Milk is fermented for 2-3 days, then filtered, and kefir leaven remains, which is transferred to fresh strained milk. After standing for a couple of days in a bowl, it is no longer milk, but tasty and healthy kefir.
Kefir is used not only by nutritionists, pediatricians and other doctors, but also by cosmetologists, and, of course, cooks. In addition to second courses, and ordinary drinking, kefir is added to all kinds of pastries, which at the same time acquires airiness.
Cake on kefir - a variety of recipes
If you want to bake a kefir cake, then the first rule is that soda is poured into kefir. These two products interact and produce delicious and fluffy cakes.
It is necessary to consider several recipes in order to choose the most suitable one for yourself and later start not only preparing this kefir cake, but also constantly improve the recipe and add something new to the taste of the dessert.
Recipe "Zebra on kefir".
This is truly such a cake, the recipe of which is in every home and it has never changed. We bake this cake in the family, as our grandmothers and great-grandmothers baked it with milk, eggs, flour, soda quenched with lemon juice and cocoa. Few people changed this recipe in their family, only due to the fact that one fine day, instead of milk, they accidentally bought a pack of kefir. 
What will change if you cook Zebra on kefir.
Products you will need:
- Kefir (better with fat 2.5% or even 3.2%) - 0.5 liters;
- Chicken eggs - 6 pieces;
- Sugar - 1 cup;
- Butter or margarine for baking - 200 gr.;
- Premium flour - 2 cups;
- Soda - 1 teaspoon;
- Cocoa - 3-4 tablespoons;
- Sour cream - 1 liter;
- Sugar for cream or powdered sugar- 1 glass.
The recipe is almost a classic zebra, but instead of milk, you need to use kefir.
There are also two ways to cook, one is a simple mixing of all the ingredients, the second is more like a biscuit recipe. Let's start with the usual.
Break the eggs, add sugar to them and beat well with a mixer at high speeds, pour kefir into another bowl and add a sifted spoonful of soda and mix, then combine both liquid mixtures and beat again. Next, softened butter, you can even warm it up a little, pour it into the prepared mixture and mix again. Next, add flour in small portions and constantly beat with a mixer. You should get a slightly watery dough that spreads well over the surface.
Next, divide it into 2 halves and sift cocoa into one of them, knead well. Lubricate the baking dish with butter and pour the dough alternately from each bowl - 2 tablespoons of dark, then 2 tablespoons of light and so on, until the bottom of the form is completely filled. Bake in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for 30-35 minutes. Readiness to check with a toothpick.
From the presented ingredients, 2 full-fledged cakes are obtained. When they have cooled, cut them in half and soak with sour cream. So that the middle of the cakes do not rise much in relation to the edges, you can bake for the first 20 minutes under the foil, then remove it and another 15 minutes in an open form.
The second way to prepare dough for zebra.
Separate the yolks from the proteins, and first beat the proteins with half the sugar, until peaks form, then beat the yolks in the same way. Sift soda into kefir, melt butter or margarine completely in a bowl and pour kefir with soda into it. Then mix. We combine the yolks with the proteins, very carefully, mixing with a wooden spatula. Next, pour kefir with all the contents into this mass. And gradually introduce the flour, after sifting it. Now you can no longer beat with a mixer, only with a wooden or plastic spatula. Mix everything well from bottom to top and divide into two equal parts, in one of which add cocoa.
Everything else happens as in the first recipe, only when the cakes are baked and cooled, they must be cut into two parts, as they will be very airy. If you make four layers, then the kefir cake will be better saturated with cream and will melt in your mouth.

Preparing a cake is as easy as shelling pears, because in order to make the dough you need to mix in different bowls - kefir, eggs and sugar in one, sift flour, cocoa and soda in another.
After you beat everything in the first bowl with a whisk, and in the second mix with a spoon, then carefully pour the contents of the second into the contents of the first. Mix everything until smooth, breaking up any lumps.
Now grease the multicooker bowl with oil and pour the dough into it. It is necessary to smooth the dough a little, close the lid and set the baking mode. The first part will be equal to one hour, then without opening the multicooker, we set the same mode and for another 40 minutes.
Cooking cream.
Sour cream should be filtered in advance and be cold, first grind nuts with a blender, then beat sour cream with a mixer and pour sugar in a stream, then nuts in the same stream. Beat a little more and leave in the refrigerator until the cake is baked and cooled. Then you will have a lot of free time, devote it to yourself.
When the cake is baked, invert the bowl onto a plate and wait to cool. After the baking gets room temperature, it must be cut into 3 cakes and smear thickly with cream. Top with nuts or grated chocolate.
