Description

If the sour cream frosting turns out too runny, add 70–100 grams of cream cheese and whip it again.

Ingredients

33% Cream - 17.6 oz
Powdered Sugar - 5.6 oz
Vanilla salt - 4 spoons
Sugar - 7.1 oz
Walnuts - 5.6 oz
Cocoa Powder - 2 spoons
Chicken Egg - 2 pieces
Black Currant Jam - 10.6 oz
Wheat Flour - 11.3 oz
Activated Baking Soda - 1 tablespoon
Kefir - 7 fl oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Prepare the batter. Use a mixer to beat the eggs with regular and vanilla sugar until you achieve a fluffy mixture.

Step 2

Drain the jam through a sieve and let the syrup drip off. Add everything left in the sieve to the egg mixture and mix thoroughly with a spoon.

Step 3

In another large bowl, sift the flour with the baking soda.

Step 4

Gradually pour in the kefir while continuing to mix the mixture until it reaches a smooth consistency. The mixture should become frothy.

Step 5

Gradually add the egg mixture with jam to the bowl containing the flour mixture. Mix thoroughly.

Step 6

Add 50 grams of chopped walnuts and 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the batter.

Step 7

Grease a 24 cm baking dish with butter and pour the batter into it. Bake in a preheated oven at 392°F for 20 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 356°F and leave the batter in for another 20 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick – it should come out clean.
