Notes
- Kefir Substitute: If you don’t have kefir, plain yogurt works as a substitute, but the tanginess may be less pronounced.
- Mixing Tip: Overmixing the batter can result in a dense cake. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
- Storage: Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week.
- Topping Ideas: A dusting of powdered sugar, cream cheese frosting, or a drizzle of honey pairs wonderfully with this cake.
- Add-Ins: Try adding citrus zest or a handful of chopped nuts to the batter for extra texture and flavor.
