Sponge cake with beer that always turns out puffy: how to cook

Sponge cake is the basis for many popular desserts. But it's not easy to make, because the mass often falls off and turns out to be clogged inside. Therefore, the best option is to use the following technology and make a sponge cake with beer.

The idea of making a fluffy sponge cake that always turns out well is published on the Instagram page of a food blogger with the nickname eatme_daily. Beer has its own natural yeast, so the dough will rise in any case.

Ingredients for a round mold 20-24 cm and a square 21 cm:

• beer - 250 ml
• butter - 250 g
• flour - 280 g
• sugar - 350 g
• cocoa powder - 100 g
• kefir 2.5% - 100 ml
• eggs - 2 pcs
• baking soda - 1 tsp
• vanilla sugar or vanilla extract - 10 g

Method of preparation:

1. Prepare the mold: put the foil on the baking sheet, then parchment paper on it. Put the cake ring on top and wrap the sides.

2. Preheat the oven to 150-160 degrees.

3. Cut the butter into cubes. Put it in a saucepan, pour in the beer and put it on the stove. Heat at medium temperature until the butter is melted (stir occasionally). Add sugar and vanilla and stir.

4. Add the sifted cocoa and stir.

5. Mix the eggs and kefir separately, then pour in some of the chocolate mixture and mix.

6. Pour in the rest and mix. Sift in the flour and baking soda (add in 2-3 passes), mix thoroughly each time.

7. Pour the dough into the mold and put it in the oven.

8. Bake until done for 40-50 minutes.

9. Allow the finished sponge cake to cool slightly, run a knife through the walls and remove it. While still warm, wrap it in cling film and refrigerate overnight.

Some cooking tips:

1. Do not open the oven for the first 30 minutes.

2. The sponge cake can be cut even after a few hours, but it is very fragile and delicate, so it is best to let it brew. Thus, it will be obedient and even tastier.
