Cupcake with jelly
4 servings
30 minutes
Kissel cake is an amazing combination of traditions and culinary experiments. This recipe comes from Turkish cuisine, where kissel is used not only as a drink but also as an ingredient for baking. During the preparation process, the kissel completely dissolves, giving the cake a unique texture and a light fruity sourness. The airy dough enriched with vanilla, sour cream, and whipped egg whites makes the pastry tender, while butter adds richness to the flavor. This cake is perfect for morning tea or a cozy evening with aromatic coffee. Its softness and lightness make it an ideal dessert for those who appreciate exquisite yet simple recipes. Serve it slightly warm to highlight the subtle vanilla and fruit aroma, turning an ordinary tea time into a true gastronomic delight.
