Variations

Want to make it gluten-free and vegan? No worries! 🤗 We've got you covered:

Gluten-Free Option: Substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure it contains xanthan gum to help bind the ingredients.

Vegan Option: Swap out the eggs for a flaxseed mixture (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons of water per egg) and replace the kefir with a non-dairy yogurt. Also, use coconut oil instead of vegetable oil for extra flavor.

Faq

  • Why is my cake not rising?

    Make sure your baking powder is fresh and that you're not over-mixing the batter, which can deflate it.

  • Can I use frozen raspberries?

    Yes, you can! Just make sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid extra moisture in the batter.

  • How do I store leftover cake?

    Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to a week.

  • Can I add other fruits?

    Absolutely! This recipe works well with blueberries, strawberries, or even a mix of your favorite berries.

  • How can I make the cake more moist?

    Adding a tablespoon of yogurt or a bit more kefir can enhance the cake's moisture without altering the texture.

  • What’s the best way to get a clean slice?

    Use a sharp knife wiped clean between each slice for the best results.
