Homemade “Three Glasses” Cake (No Mixer)

Ingredients:

  • 1 glass sugar
  • 1 glass all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ glass vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• Cream:
  • 200g sour cream (or thick yogurt)
  • 100g sugar (or to taste)
  • Vanilla extract (optional)
• Garnish:
  • Cocoa powder or chocolate shavings

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Batter:
   • Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan (or a round cake pan).
   • In a large bowl, combine the kefir, sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract (if using). Whisk until well combined.
   • In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda.
   • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Don’t overmix.
2. Bake the Cake:
   • Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
   • Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
   • Let the cake cool completely in the pan.
3. Prepare the Cream:
   • In a bowl, combine the sour cream (or yogurt), sugar, and vanilla extract (if using).
   • Whisk until smooth and creamy.
4. Assemble the Cake:
   • Once the cake has cooled, spread the sour cream frosting evenly over the top.
   • Optionally, dust with cocoa powder or garnish with chocolate shavings.
5. Chill:
   • Refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours (or longer) to allow the cake to set and the flavors to meld.

Tips for a Juicy Cake:

• Kefir: Kefir adds a tang and moisture that keeps the cake soft.
• Oil: The vegetable oil contributes to the cake’s moistness.
• Don’t Overmix: Overmixing can make the cake tough.
• Cool Completely: Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting to prevent the cream from melting.
• Sour Cream Frosting: The sour cream frosting complements the chocolate cake beautifully and adds extra moisture.
• Variations:
  • Add nuts or chocolate chips to the batter.
  • Use different extracts (almond, orange) in the batter or cream.
  • Add a layer of fruit jam between the cake and the cream.
