Simple kefir cake without eggs in the oven

I found out about this recipe by accident when I was planning to bake something delicious and didn’t have any eggs at home. That's when this cooking method helped me out. The cake turns out very fluffy and airy thanks to the reaction of soda and kefir.

We will need:

• kefir - 0.5 l;
• flour - 450 g;
• sugar - 200 g;
• sunflower oil - 100 ml;
• soda - 1 teaspoon;
• vanilla to taste.

Preparation:

1. Half an hour before cooking, take the kefir out of the refrigerator. Or you can heat it in the microwave. The main thing is that it is not cold, but at room temperature.
2. Pour soda into kefir, mix and wait for them to begin to interact.
3. As soon as bubbles begin to appear on the surface, add sugar and stir.
4. Add vegetable oil. And we begin to pour out the sifted flour. Mix the dough with a spoon; the consistency should be slightly thicker than pancake dough. The oil should be odorless.
5. Pour the dough into a greased pan or small molds. If you are using small molds, do not fill them completely. The dough will rise during baking.

I decided to try making a layer of marshmallows - small marshmallows. They melted and gave the baked goods a very pleasant aroma. As a filling you can use fruits, chocolate, nuts - whatever you like.

Cook in the oven at 180 degrees for about 30 minutes.

Making kefir muffins with raisins at home

Another recipe, completely different from the previous one. Most likely, I would call it “my mother’s recipe.” The fact is that when I was very little, my mother often spoiled us with baked goods. And among her favorite products were cupcakes with raisins. Therefore, I am familiar with this version of the delicacy firsthand. You can say “he and I have been hand in hand all our lives.” So, I personally want to say it will be delicious!

We will need:

• Flour - 450 gr.
• Kefir - 200 ml.
• Butter - 200 gr.
• Table egg - 3 pcs.
• Granulated sugar - 150 gr.
• Raisins - 100 gr.
• Vanilla sugar - 15 gr.
• Soda - 1 teaspoon
• Lemon juice (can be replaced with 9% vinegar) - to extinguish soda

Preparation:

1. Let's prepare the raisins before we start preparing the dough. Pour boiling water over it and leave to soak. In the meantime, you can start kneading.
2. Take a deep bowl, break the required number of eggs into it and add sugar. Beat the whole mass using a mixer. The result should be a homogeneous consistency, the sugar should be completely dissolved.
3. Next, add kefir and continue beating the egg mixture.
4. Now add vanilla sugar, extinguish the soda with lemon juice and mix. Next, pour in the melted, cooled butter. Make sure the butter has cooled properly, otherwise the kefir may curdle.
5. The dough is almost ready, all that remains is to add flour (in small portions). Please note that the flour should be sifted before use. Continue beating the liquid mass with a mixer.
6. The dough is ready, pay attention to its consistency. It should be in the form of thick sour cream. Add soaked raisins here, after draining the water. Mix again, the finished dough can be divided into molds.
7. To ensure that the raisins are distributed more evenly in the dough, I suggest rolling them a little in flour before using. Only after this manipulation should it be used in cooking.
8. Before baking, preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Then carefully transfer the forms to a baking sheet (for convenience) and you can bake. We will bake the product for 25-30 minutes. After the time has passed, be sure to check for readiness using a wooden stick.

Your dessert is ready, let it cool slightly. Then remove from the molds and serve, but first decorate the baked goods with powdered sugar, fresh berries and mint.

Kefir muffins

Kitchen utensils and equipment: dough container, small bowl, mixer, muffin tins, sieve, baking sheet.
List of ingredients:

I recommend preparing all the ingredients at once, since the dough is prepared in one turn of the mixer.

Cooking sequence

1. Turn on the oven and heat it to 180°.
2. Chop the butter into a small metal bowl and melt it over low heat. Let cool.

3. Sprinkle baking powder into the flour (it also works well with regular soda) and sift them through a sieve.
4. Break the eggs into a suitable bowl (I take a large bowl) and measure out the sugar.
5. Beat, turn on the mixer, into a small foam and pour in the kefir. Mix.

6. Pour the slightly cooled oil into the bowl in a thin stream. And mix again.
7. Without ceasing to work with the mixer, add flour and vanilla. The dough turns out viscous and sticks a little on the spoon.

8. We take out the molds.
   I use silicone ones and never grease them, and the muffins come out great. When using metal molds, they must be greased first. You can use paper molds instead of greasing.
9. Fill each one 3/4 full with dough, place it on a baking sheet and place it in the oven in the middle position.

10. We wait 35-40 minutes and take it out.

We take the finished muffins out of the molds, put the dough in their place again and bake for the same amount. If necessary, repeat the procedure until the dough is finished. I get 2-3 passes. If desired, dust the muffins with powdered sugar.

You can also make -Muffins with raisins- or replace kefir and make muffins with sour cream.
