Raspberry Kefir Semolina Cake

With raspberries, manna turns into a real culinary masterpiece. Very often I see reviews from housewives about unsuccessfully prepared mannas. This mainly concerns the consistency of the finished manna. It turns out either very dense, airless, or there are grains of semolina in it, which also spoils the overall impression of the baked goods. Therefore, in step 2, I separately focused on the features of preparing dough for manna.

Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
Prepare the ingredients. To prepare manna with raspberries on kefir we will need: flour, semolina, kefir, egg, butter, sugar, baking powder, soda and raspberries.

Step 2

Step 2
Pour semolina with kefir. Stir and leave to swell for 25-30 minutes. This is a very important point. The cereal should swell well, then the manna will turn out porous, soft and homogeneous. Otherwise, grains of semolina will be felt in the finished pie. And one more important point: the dough must be mixed well so that the kefir is evenly distributed throughout the cereal. You can stir the dough 1-2 more times while waiting.

Step 3

Melt the butter and cool.

Step 4

Step 8

Step 8
Add raspberries to the dough. Mix very carefully, being careful not to crush the berries.

Step 9

Transfer the raspberries to a greased baking dish. Bake the manna in an oven preheated to 180°C for about 40 minutes.
