120 minutes
Grainy chocolate cake is a refined delicacy of French cuisine, where the delicate texture of semolina combines with a rich chocolate flavor. Its roots trace back to European baking traditions, where simplicity of ingredients transforms into sophisticated pleasure. Thanks to kefir, the dough gains airiness, while vanilla and orange essence provide subtle aromatic notes. The cake has a light moisture and grainy structure, creating a unique sensation with every bite. It is perfect as a morning treat with coffee or tea and complements family festive tables beautifully. The finished cake can be stored in the freezer to maintain freshness, making it a convenient option for preparation in advance. Dusting it with powdered sugar not only delights the taste but also makes it look appetizing like a masterpiece of pastry art.
