Blueberry Swirl Loaf Cake


This is a wonderful recipe for Loaf cake which is so moist and flavourful. You will definitely make it again once you will try it.
 

 I usually make round or square cakes never baked a loaf cake. Always wondered how beautiful it rises and looks so delicious!! I got inspired by the base recipe from Julie Blanner, and I decided to bake it making it healthier... I was literally amazed to see the result. It's so easy and at the same time healthy.

This recipe is eggless, made with whole wheat flour, Refined sugar-free since I always opt for it's healthier alternative which is coconut sugar.This recipe requires minimal ingredients to whip up and is ready in an hour.

Perfect with your tea /coffee...also can be served for breakfast. Grab and go healthy snacks for those times when you don't have much time to cook.

Here I have made a blueberry sauce with fresh blueberries. It is again a very simple recipe that I will be sharing. It is completely optional. You can just add in the blueberries if you don't have time to make the sauce. But I definitely would suggest you make it as it gives a tangy-sweet flavor to the cake and a beautiful design on the slices.

So let's check the recipe:

INGREDIENTS:
For the Blueberry Sauce:
Fresh or frozen Blueberries 1 cup
Cornstarch 11/2 tsp
Coldwater 1/2 cup
Lemon juice 1 tsp

For the loaf cake:
Whole wheat flour 2 cups
Salt 1/2 tsp
Yogurt 1/4 cup
Milk 1 cup
Blueberries 1 cup

INSTRUCTION:
1. Lets make the blueberry Sauce first. (If not making this please skip and go to 5th point).In a saucepan, whisk together sugar and cornstarch, until well blended. Stir in cold water, blueberries, and lemon juice.

2.Cook over medium heat whisking often until the mixture begins to boil.Boil for 30 seconds.
3. Remove from heat and force mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl (to remove blueberry skins).


4.Set the mixture aside to cool down. You can refrigerate this if there is any excess left after utilizing it in making the cake.


5. Now let's bake the loaf cake. Grease a loaf pan /place a parchment paper in it. Preheat Oven to 350 degrees F.

6. In a big bowl, add sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt and combine them.


7. In another bowl, add yogurt, milk, and oil. Blend well with a hand blender.

8. Gradually add dry mixture to wet until just moist.

9. Add in blueberries.


10. Stir well to make a pourable batter.

11. Pour 1/4th part of the batter into the loaf. Now add a layer of Blueberry sauce and swirl with a stick.


12. Pour the other 1/4th part of batter on the swirl. Add another layer of blueberry sauce and swirl with a stick.


13. Pour the remaining better and add the last layer of blueberry sauce and make a swirl again.


14. Make sure the batter is an inch and half below the height of the loaf pan to compensate for rising.

15. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes until a stick inserted comes out clean.

16. Once baked, take out of the oven and allow to cool on rack completely before removing from loaf pan.


Slice the loaf cake and enjoy it with your family and friends. If you do try this recipe...please tag me @archanasvegfoodchronicles in your Instagram post. Do give your feedback in the comments section below. Subscribe for more amazing recipes in your Inbox.

Tambittu -North Karnataka style roasted gram laddoo

. North Karnataka special...Tambittu is one of the most popular laddoos /sweet balls made for Nagara Panchami. It is a festival of praying and offering milk to Nag devata (Snake God) who is worshipped in the form of stone, clay idol, or silver idol. In this recipe, Roasted gram (puthani) is powdered and then mixed with jaggery and other items to make laddoos. These are offered as Naivedyam to Nag devata and then eaten by all in the family.

Eggless Brazilian Cheese Bread

Pao de Queijo (pronounced as pown -deh- kay-zho) aka Brazilian Cheese Bread is a small baked cheese bun, a popular snack and breakfast food that originated in the state Minas Gerais of Brazil. These are bread/buns usually made with tapioca flour, milk, oil, cheese, salt, and egg/egg substitute. Since I don't use eggs in my baking I have used vinegar instead. These are soft, chewy and so addictive. I love to make healthy bakes from all around the world. Inspired by this YouTube video by Something Dave and I gave it a try as it was an eggless version.These came out so well. These are super simple and easy to make with just five ingredients. A must try because they are gluten-free, contain no yeast, no baking powder, yet so soft and cheesy😋 I had never tried baking with tapioca flour...and found it so interesting to bake with. The dough is too sticky and you will need some extra flour to be dusted to make balls out of it. I have used plant-based pa...

Huli pudi (Sambar Powder) North Karnataka style

Huli Pudi is one of the authentic traditional Sambar powders which has been passed on from generation to generation. This is specially made in North Karnataka. There is a wide variety of sambar powders not only within Karnataka but within South India. Each region has it's own way of adding ingredients and making them. In North Karnataka brahmin families, you can usually see two types of Sambars, firstly 'Saaru ' which can also be called Rasam with Toor dal. The consistency is thin and usually made with Tur dal and tomatoes or Tamarind. The other one is 'Huli' which is thicker in consistency and usually includes some veggies or greens. So here I am sharing the Sambar powder that is used to make a typical Huli. This is so unique and different from South Karnataka Sambar powders. The main difference being the omission of urad dal and Tur dal. This powder is just made with dried spices. This can be made in advance in large quantities/batches and stored in a...
