Print Recipe

This chocolate kefir sheet cake is a rich, moist, and easy-to-make dessert. The kefir adds a soft texture and a hint of tanginess, while the chocolate glaze creates the perfect finishing touch.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
  • 2 cups kefir (or buttermilk)
  • 1 medium egg
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened Dutch cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ cup sunflower or canola oil

For the Chocolate Glaze:

  • 1 cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ⅓ cup heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons shredded coconut (optional, for topping)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Baking Pan

  • Preheat your oven to 340°F (170°C).
  • Grease a 9×13-inch baking sheet with oil and dust with breadcrumbs.

2. Mix the Batter

  • In a bowl, whisk together kefir and oil.
  • Add the egg, sugar, and cocoa powder and mix well.
  • Gradually stir in flour and baking soda until fully combined.

3. Bake the Cake

  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth it out with a spatula.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before glazing.

4. Make the Chocolate Glaze

  • Melt chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts.
  • Stir in heavy cream until smooth and glossy.

5. Decorate & Serve

  • Pour the glaze evenly over the cake and spread with a spatula.
  • Sprinkle shredded coconut (optional) and let it set for 15 minutes.
  • Slice into squares and enjoy!

Notes

Use baking soda, not baking powder – it reacts with kefir to create a light texture.
For a juicier cake, brush a layer of fruit jam before adding the chocolate glaze.
Storage Tips: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
