I love recipes where the most ordinary products turn into something interesting. Today, I’m making a kefir cake with poppy seeds. Instead of poppy seeds, you can blend raisins, prunes, or add nuts or halva. You'll get a new taste every time. In a bowl, put 100g
00:15
Speaker A
of poppy seeds, crack in one egg, add one tablespoon of starch—I’m using potato starch—and one tablespoon of sugar. Now, first add one tablespoon of kefir. Mix it together. If it’s a bit too thick, add another tablespoon of kefir. Mix it again and set it aside.

Now let's prepare the batter. In a larger bowl, crack three eggs, add 150g of sugar, and beat with a mixer for about 5 minutes until fluffy and creamy. Pour in 180ml of kefir. Everything I use is at room temperature. Add 60ml of
00:46
Speaker A
vegetable oil and 100g of melted butter, which I’ve already let cool slightly. Why do I use two types of oil? Butter gives the pastry that signature creamy taste and delicate aroma. And the vegetable oil makes the

Speaker A
dough moist and soft, keeping the cake fresh for longer so it doesn't go stale. You can choose just one type, but I highly recommend using both. The result is worth it. Measure out 260g of flour.

Add one teaspoon of baking powder. You can substitute it with a teaspoon of baking soda, but then you’ll need to add a pinch of citric acid. Mix everything together. Add the dry mixture gradually in two or three batches. Gently mix the batter with a

spatula. In the end, you get a smooth, uniform batter like this. Pour half into the pan. My pan is 24 cm in diameter. I’ve lined it with parchment paper. Now spread the poppy seed filling over the surface and cover

Speaker A
it with the remaining batter. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C (350 °F) for 40–45 minutes. Check for doneness with a wooden skewer. Of course, adjust based on your own oven. Let the cake cool down a bit, and it’s ready to
