Simple recipe for kefir chocolate cake
Ingredients:
- 300g plain flour,
- 300ml kefir,
- 200g sugar,
- 120ml vegetable oil,
- 2 eggs,
- 25g cocoa powder,
- 2 tablespoons plum jam,
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon,
- 2 teaspoons baking powder,
- a pinch of salt.
For the glaze:
- 80ml double cream,
- 70g dark chocolate.
Preparation:
- In a large bowl, pour the kefir and oil, add the eggs and sugar. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are combined.
- Add the plum jam and mix again to ensure the mixture is uniform.
- Sift the flour, cocoa, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ones, gently mixing to avoid lumps.
- Pour the batter into a baking tin lined with parchment paper and smooth the surface.
- Place in an oven preheated to 180°C and bake for about 60 minutes, until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
While the cake cools, prepare the glaze. Heat the cream in a small pan and add the broken chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and a smooth mixture forms. Pour the ready glaze over the cooled cake and wait for it to set.
