For 8 portions

Ingredients

200 g all-purpose flour
160 g granulated sugar + 2 tablespoons for sprinkling
1 teaspoon baking powder
⅓ teaspoon salt
100 g butter (soft)
1 egg
100 ml kefir
8 g vanilla sugar
150 g fruit (berries or sliced apples)

Preparation procedure

Dry ingredients In a bowl, mix the sifted all-purpose flour with 160 g granulated sugar, baking powder, vanilla sugar and salt.
Dough Add the soft butter, egg and kefir. Use a hand mixer or whisk to work until a smooth and tender consistency.
Preparing the pan Line a round pan (Ø 24 cm) with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the center and spread evenly to the edges.
Fruit Pile the fruit on the surface of the batter and press it in lightly so it doesn't float out during baking.
Sprinkling Sprinkle the cake with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar, which will create a crispy crust.
Baking Place in an oven preheated to 180 °C and bake for 25 minutes. Check with a toothpick – it should come out clean.
Cooling Let the cake cool slightly in the pan for 15 minutes, then run a knife around the edges and turn it out onto a wire rack. Allow to cool completely before serving.
