Tender Kefir Cake
Description
Homemade baking for tea. If you want something with your tea – bake this cake. Incredibly tasty, light, airy, it’s good on its own as well as with any fillings. You can add raisins, nuts, or candied fruit. I use lemon zest for aroma. The recipe is simple, economical, and doesn’t require much effort. Take note: serve it cooled or slightly warm.
