Kefir sheet cake with a cinnamon sugar crust is a quick treat made with everyday ingredients for unexpected guests. Mix kefir with butter and sugar, add flour and baking soda mixed with citric acid, and roll the dough out to about half a centimeter thick. Sprinkle generously with sugar and cinnamon, which form a sweet crust as the cake bakes. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes at 180 °C (350 °F). Serve with milk, tea, or fruit compote.

Ingredients

Flour 500 g

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Mix the kefir with the butter and sugar until creamy.
Add the baking soda and flour and mix to form a dough.
Roll the dough out to a thickness of 0.5 cm, transfer it to a butter-greased baking sheet, and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
Place the baking sheet in an oven preheated to no higher than 180 °C (350 °F) so the cake does not burn. Bake for 15–20 minutes until golden, then cut into pieces and serve.

Tip: Baking soda mixed with citric acid starts working as soon as it touches the kefir, so do not let the dough rest; bake it as soon as possible. Roll out the soft dough on a well-floured surface.
