Quick Chocolate Cake with Sour Cream Frosting
A simple yet surprisingly delicious cake. I used 1/3 less sugar in both the batter and the frosting (it's still plenty sweet for my taste). It's best to use 20% sour cream; with 15%, the frosting is a little runny. Now I'll experiment with different frostings and additions.

Ingredients

Sugar 1,666 cups

Wheat flour 1 cup

Kefir 1 cup

Cocoa powder 2 tablespoons

Baking soda 1 teaspoon

Sour cream 400 g

  • 1. Beat the kefir and 1 cup of sugar together thoroughly.

  • 3. Pour the batter into a pan and bake for 30 minutes at 200 degrees. Tool Oven thermometer
  • 4. Let the baked cake cool and cut it in half.
  • 5. Beat the sour cream and 2/3 cup of sugar together thoroughly. Spread over the cake layers.
  • 6. Decorate the cake with grated chocolate.
  • 7. It's best to refrigerate the cake for 2 hours so it can absorb the frosting thoroughly and become tender.
