Ingredients:

• kefir — 450 g;
• semolina — 270 g;
• sugar — 180 g;
• eggs — 3;
• sunflower oil — 90 g;
• baking soda — ½ tsp;
• vanilla sugar — 10 g (optional);
• salt — a pinch.

 Method of preparation

In a deep bowl, combine the kefir and semolina, mix, and let sit for 30 minutes so the grains swell. This will make the batter soft and tender.

Separately, whisk the eggs with sugar and salt using a fork or whisk until light and frothy. Add the sunflower oil and vanilla sugar, and mix again. Combine the egg mixture with the soaked kefir and semolina, stirring until smooth.

Add the baking soda, neutralized with lemon juice or vinegar, and mix quickly. The batter should be thick but pliable. Grease a baking pan with oil, dust with semolina or flour, and pour in the batter. Optionally, add fresh or frozen berries.

Bake at 180 °C for about 40–45 minutes. Check doneness with a wooden skewer. Let the cake cool, then dust with powdered sugar or serve with a sour cream sauce.
