  • Take good quality wheat flour and combine it with baking soda. Add baking powder, grated chocolate, or cocoa powder. Mix.
  • Soften the butter. Transfer it to a bowl. Mix it with the sugar. It is best to use a mixer for this purpose. Then add 1 egg to this mixture. Beat well.
  • Add salt. After that, gradually add refined or odorless sunflower oil. Pour it into the mixture in a thin stream.
  • Take separate dishes. Pour 2.5% kefir into it. Add food coloring and mix. After that, you need to pour it into the mixer bowl, alternating with flour. Knead the dough using the slow setting. Bake the cakes for 30-40 minutes at 180° in 2 batches.
  • Once the biscuit has cooled, wrap it in foil and refrigerate overnight.
  • Cream: you need to take butter at room temperature. The cheese should be cold.
  • Beat the butter with a mixer, adding powdered sugar as you go. The mixture should turn white. Then add the cheese little by little and beat.
