Kefir gingerbread
4 servings
60 minutes
Kefir cake is a cozy, aromatic pie with a rich flavor and soft texture. Its roots go back to Russian cuisine, where cakes were traditionally made with honey. However, this kefir version is a modern interpretation that gives the pastry a special tenderness. Jam and fresh berries fill the cake with fruity tartness, while vanillin adds sweet spice. The secret to its fluffiness is baking soda, which makes the dough light and porous. This treat is perfect for family tea time: it can be served warm or slightly cooled, enjoying the combination of soft dough and rich fruit flavor. The cake is easy to make, and its cozy aroma fills the home with warmth and memories.
