Turmeric and cinnamon cake on kefir

Kefir Snack Cake with Turmeric and Cinnamon

A go-to recipe for an everyday kefir cake. This turmeric-and-cinnamon kefir cake is easy to riff on - add spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ground ginger), any berries or fruit, citrus zest, poppy seeds, chopped nuts, seeds, or a little bran. Just make sure the kefir is warm.
