Kefir Cake
Description
The recipe won't take much time. The contrasting stripes are achieved by combining two types of dough—one plain, and the other with added cocoa. The cake looks very festive, and its preparation won't take long. Serve it warm or cold, with tea or coffee. It can be stored for several days, if you don't eat it all at once. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
