Method
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Chop dried8 apricots into small cubes and rinse raisins7, then drain and pat dry.
Whisk egg with sugar and salt until frothy. Stir in kefir5 and melted butter4, mixing well.
Combine flour with baking powder, then fold into the wet mixture to form a thick, lump-free batter.
Gently fold in raisins7 and chopped apricots. Transfer batter to a cake pan, filling it no more than two-thirds full.
Bake for 40–45 minutes at 350°F (180°C) until a skewer comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
Cool cake completely, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Tips
- Why it works
- Кефир заменяет дрожжи, чтобы тесто поднималось без ожидания. Если его меньше 55 г, кулич получится плотным и не будет пышным.
- Substitutions
- Замени курагу на чернослив (18 г) или убрай изюм, если нет. Масло можно растопить на водяной бане, если нет микроволновки.
- Common mistakes
- Тесто не поднимется, если разрыхлитель просрочен или его мало. Проверяй по истечении 15 минут после замеса.
- Storing and reheating
- Храни в холодильнике 2 дня, нагревай в микроволновке 20 секунд. Не замораживай — структура портится.
- Serve with
- Подавай с чаем к завтраку или на пасхальный стол с творожной пастой и орехами.
