Set the temperature in the oven to 180 degrees and heat it up.

This simple kefir cherry pie can be made with fresh cherries or frozen ones.
Fresh ones need to be washed well and the bones removed. It can be a special device for removing them, or, like mine, the old-fashioned way - a pin.

Pitted cherries must be put in a sieve or colander, they will give a little juice that must drain, this will prevent the cake from soaking.
Defrost frozen cherries without fail and also remove the resulting juice with the help of a sieve.

Combine eggs and sugar in a bowl.
If you shake the eggs with a fork, then the cake after the oven will turn out to be low, and if you give the process a little more time and beat with a whisk until small bubbles, the cake will be higher.

So, after mixing with a whisk of eggs and sugar, a foamy homogeneous mass was obtained.

We add kefir.
I made such a kefir pie with a fat content of both 2.5% and 3.2%. I didn't notice much of a difference in the finished product. I think that with 1% kefir the cake will turn out delicious, although I won’t say 100%.
Mix kefir and egg mass with the same whisk.

Combine flour and baking powder in a sieve. Sift into liquid mass.

At this stage, there is a nuance - the amount of flour will have to be slightly adjusted.
The recipe says 1 cup, which is 130 grams. But after all, everyone’s flour is different, and if you also take into account the size of the eggs and the density of kefir, then for the resulting too liquid mass it will need a little more.

The main guideline for the density of the dough will be its ability to fall off a spoon with a wide heavy ribbon. You will get an approximately thick dough for pancakes.

That is, first you add the prescribed 1 cup of flour, knead it well with a spoon, make sure that there are no lumps, and then pick up part of the dough in a spoon and watch - it flows quickly and the tape is thin, which means you add a spoonful of flour, knead and so on, until will not look like the photo.

What will we get if we do not achieve the correct dough consistency? AT batter cherries will drown and after the allotted time for baking, we will have quite wet pie. And if the dough is heavily hammered with flour, the cake will be too dry.
Therefore, follow the above tips and you will succeed.

But I want to note right away that 1 cup of flour was always enough for me and there were no problems with the dough after the oven. Just in case, I give you such a hint so that there are no questions when executing the recipe. After all, we want to please the family with delicious pastries.

If there is no baking powder in the house, then it can be replaced with soda in the amount of 1 tsp. In this case, do not mix it with flour, but combine it with kefir. There is no need to extinguish soda, kefir contains acid and, upon contact with soda, fermented milk product small bubbles will appear.

Such foamy kefir must be combined with beaten eggs, and then add the sifted flour. Well, that's all, the subtleties in preparing the dough are revealed, let's move on.

Grease a baking dish with oil, and so that the cake does not stick to the bottom, you can cover it with parchment paper.
You can take both detachable and solid form. The height of the cake will depend on its diameter. I think it is clear that the smaller it is, the higher the baking will be. I use an 18 cm diameter baking dish and the cake is 7 cm high.
Pour the dough into the mold.

I would like to offer you a wonderful cherry pie on kefir. This pie can be made with fresh or frozen cherries. I always have cherries in the freezer, as they are my favorite berry in baking.
