Airy cake in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake a delicious, tender, airy cake in the oven? Very simple! To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. For the test, all products must be at room temperature. Take kefir with a fat content of 2.5% or higher. Vegetable oil - any, I use sunflower oil.

2. STEP 2

   

   Finely chop the walnuts.

3. STEP 3

   

   Rinse the raisins and remove the stems. If the raisins are very dry, pour boiling water over them and leave for 10 minutes, then drain the water and dry the raisins.

4. STEP 4

   

   Beat the eggs with sugar into a fluffy foam.

5. STEP 5

   

   Continuing to beat, pour in room temperature kefir and vegetable oil.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add the sifted flour with baking powder and stir until smooth. Don't rush to add all the flour at once. Focus primarily on consistency. You should get a thick, flowing dough.

7. STEP 7

   

   Stir raisins and nuts into the dough.

8. STEP 8

   

   Pour the batter into a greased cake pan. You get a lot of dough, plus streusel, so choose a form that can accommodate everything. The internal size of my rectangular mold is 22 by 10 cm. The diameter of the round mold is 20-22 cm.

9. STEP 9

   

   Now prepare the necessary ingredients for the streusel.

10. STEP 10

    

    Place cold butter cut into cubes into a blender bowl, add flour, sugar and cocoa. Beat until fine crumbs are obtained. You can beat everything not in a blender, but grind it with your hands, but it’s much faster in a blender.

11. STEP 11

    

    Spread the chocolate streusel evenly on top of the dough. Place the cake in an oven preheated to 180°C for 45-50 minutes. The exact baking time depends on your oven and the thickness of the dough. Check the readiness of the cake with a skewer - it should come out dry. Remove the finished cake from the oven and leave to cool in the pan.

12. STEP 12

    

    Then transfer the cake to a plate, cut into pieces and serve. Bon appetit!

Tried and tested recipe, thank you. The cupcake always turns out. On the site I saw another recipe for a kefir cake that interested me - with jam. I'll definitely try it.

I really liked the airy cake in the oven! In general, I love kefir muffins; they always turn out well. The addition of chocolate streusel surprised me; I immediately wanted to try this combination. I forgot to add nuts to the dough; they were already fried and chopped. I decided to mix them with streusel. My daughter doesn’t like raisins, so I rarely add them to baked goods. The cake turned out tall and baked for 50 minutes. A crack appeared on top, as befits a cupcake) and the streusel crumbled a little, but that’s not a problem. The main thing is that the cupcake is very tasty! It has a silky structure, tender and juicy crumb. The crispy chocolate crust perfectly complements this incomparable airy pastry. I especially liked this cupcake with coffee. I recommend the recipe, I really liked it!

In general, I love baking with kefir, I make a similar cupcake very often, this is my “duty recipe”! Such baked goods always turn out tender. But the idea of ​​combining such pastries with chocolate streusel captivated me, since I love cocoa and, in principle, respect anything new. I'm taking this recipe to KK so I don't forget about the streusel!

Thank you, the cake turned out very tasty. I made it without streusel (there was no cocoa), but next time I’ll definitely do it. Anyway, that’s all that was left, I managed to take a photo. This despite the fact that I made a double portion. I have a family big and everyone has a sweet tooth. THANK YOU!!!
