Products required for making dessert
To make the Zebra pie, you will need the following products: 200 ml of 2.5% kefir, 200 g of butter, 275 g of wheat flour, 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar, a teaspoon of baking soda, 4 tablespoons of cocoa, 2 chicken eggs. You will need refined vegetable oil to grease the parchment.
Chopped nuts or poppy seeds can be added to the pie dough. The preparation of the Zebra pie takes just over an hour.
Recipe for Zebra pie on kefir
Beat 2 eggs with 3 tablespoons of sugar until a white fluffy mass is formed. The butter is melted in a water bath and cooled until warm. The butter is gradually added to the eggs and the mixture is whisked thoroughly.
Sifted wheat flour is added to the mixture in small portions. The dough is mixed after each serving. Add soda to kefir and beat until completely dissolved, as well as the formation of bubbles.
Kefir is poured into the dough and the components are mixed. You should get a dough with a uniform consistency. The dough is divided into 2 equal parts. Add 4 tablespoons of cocoa to one part. Now you can start baking. The form is covered with a sheet of parchment paper, which must be greased with vegetable oil.
Using a tablespoon, lay out alternately white and chocolate dough in the center of the mold. The alternation of colors allows you to get a characteristic pattern on the cut, reminiscent of the color of a zebra.
The oven is heated to 180 ° C and the cake is baked for 30-40 minutes. Whether the pie is ready or not, you can check with a wooden toothpick. Pastries are pierced with it. If dough remains on the toothpick, the cake is not baked enough and must still be held in the oven.
The prepared cake is removed from the oven and allowed to cool. Then you need to cut off the top of the baking, swollen with a tubercle, and decorate the dessert with icing or cream.
Glaze preparation
To prepare the glaze, you will need: 3 tablespoons of cocoa, 3 tablespoons of sugar, 50 g of butter, 2 tablespoons of sour cream.
Cocoa, sour cream and sugar are thoroughly mixed and heated over low heat. Then, butter is added to the glaze and cook continues, stirring the glaze constantly, until a uniform mass is obtained. Do not cook the glaze for a long time, otherwise it will become too hard.
The glaze is removed from the heat and applied to the cake, spreading over the entire surface. Zebra pie on kefir is ready.
