There are recipes that, for some unknown reason, come from somewhere and take root forever! I bake chocolate muffins very often, especially when I am too lazy to prepare complex cakes, and I want something tasty for tea. I love this recipe for the speed of preparation and amazing taste! This extraordinary pastry combines the softness of biscuit text, the delight of chocolate flavor and the juiciness of cherries.
To make a regular cupcake chocolate, you just need to add cocoa to the list of ingredients. You cannot save on this product, because both the color and taste of the finished product will depend on the amount of cocoa. The smaller the product, the whiter and lighter the cake color will be. The classic proportion of such an additive is 3-4 tablespoons, then the cake will turn out to be almost black, with a noble brown color and a thick rich chocolate taste. But you can also put melted dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 56%.
You can bake a treat in the traditional way, in one large mold, or you can make it in small portioned tins. These can be silicone or iron molds. Lubricate the latter with oil first. You can also use single-use, single-use muffin molds.

Cooking a chocolate cake on kefir with cherries

1. In a clean container, combine all dry ingredients: flour, sugar, soda, salt and cocoa powder.

2. Stir the bulk products.

3. Pour kefir into another container and beat it a little with a mixer, about 3-4 minutes.

4. Add eggs and vegetable oil to kefir.

5. Mix the food again with a mixer until smooth.

6. Pour dry ingredients into the slurry.

7. Using a mixer with "hooks" beaters, mix the food until the dough gets a smooth consistency, without lumps. Its texture should be similar to very thick sour cream.

8. Wash the cherries, remove the seeds and add to the dough. If they are frozen, then defrost them first. Canned berries can also be used. But then blot them well with a paper napkin.

9. Knead the dough so that the berries are evenly distributed throughout the mass, and pour it into a baking dish, cover with baking parchment or brush with a thin layer of butter.

10. Heat the oven to 180 degrees and send the cake to bake for 40 minutes. Check readiness with a wooden match, which must be dry.

11. Cool the finished cake in a mold, then remove, decorate with powdered sugar and cut into portions. You can also sprinkle it with any glaze or grease it with cream.
