Method
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Prepare wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the kefir and vanilla extract.
Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Frost if desired or serve plain with a dusting of powdered sugar.
Notes
- The cake can be made lighter by substituting some of the butter with a healthier option like applesauce or using a sugar substitute.
- Dairy-free: Substitute the butter with plant-based butter and kefir with non-dairy kefir or yogurt.
- For a lower sugar version, opt for a sugar substitute or reduce the amount of sugar to suit your taste.
