Sponge cake with currant jam
Description
The baking is simple and quick. In less than an hour, you'll treat your guests and family to an amazing, easy, and delicious homemade dessert. This biscuit with currant jam turns out not only tasty but also beautifully patterned when sliced. If you'd like to make it with cream, you can spread the middle with regular jam or prepare any cream of your choice. The special feature of this homemade treat is that it doesn't require cream, as the jam inside the dough provides a unique flavor. Serve it with tea or coffee.

4. Finally, add the baking soda. There's no need to pre-neutralize it, as it will react on its own in the acidic kefir environment. Mix the batter well and pour it into a greased baking pan. A round pan is preferable.

Step 5
5. The resulting biscuit cake with currant jam should cool down, after which it can be removed from the mold. If desired, it can be sliced and spread with any cream (butter, custard, or even thick regular jam). However, I left mine in its original form, as I had already added enough jam to the batter.
