Cakes are amazingly tasty and beautiful-looking pastries. No celebration is complete without this dish. Large and beautifully decorated, they occupy a central place on the festive table. Baking cakes does not require much effort, the main thing is that all the ingredients are mixed in strict sequence, and the temperature regime is observed. The main labor costs are spent on preparing the cream and decorating the cakes.
There are many varieties of cakes, depending on the ingredients used and the structure of the resulting baking. Cake dough can be biscuit, honey, pancake, protein, custard, puff, chopped, etc. The result is the appropriate type of cake. Biscuit cakes, in turn, also differ from each other. The basis of the dough can be a dairy product, or just an egg.
Depending on the additional components, you can bake fruit, berry, butter (chiffon), nut, chocolate and other types. The classic recipe involves the use of a large number of eggs. Another option is a recipe for a delicious sour milk-based chocolate sponge cake. Biscuit on kefir never falls off after baking and turns out tender, soft and porous. Chocolate biscuit cake is very easy to prepare, lighter than the classic version.
Speaking about the history of chocolate biscuit cake, you need to remember the history of the origin of the biscuit itself. France is considered the birthplace of biscuit cakes. This dessert appeared more than 500 years ago. From the old French word "biscuit" is translated as "baked twice." Initially, biscuit pastries were sea biscuits and were used as food on ships during long sea voyages, as they could be stored for a long time. Over time, the biscuit recipe has changed and began to spread around the world. He gained the greatest popularity in England. Now it was not a dry product, but a soft cake with a short shelf life.
Gradually, the composition and method of mixing products changed. The housewives began to cook biscuits on their own, using various ingredients and getting a new culinary masterpiece. This is how homemade chocolate-biscuit cake based on kefir appeared. Almost any cream or other sweet filling is suitable for such a cake. The ideal option is a chocolate cream or icing for a biscuit cake, prepared according to a homemade recipe.
