Ingredients:
For the Cake:
- 1 cup Wild blueberries, dusted with flour
- 1 1/4 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 tsp Vanilla powder
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1/2 cup Plant-based milk with 2 tsp Apple cider vinegar
- 2 very ripe Bananas
- 1 cup Coconut sugar
- 1/2 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 2 tsp Baking powder
Instructions:
1. Preparing the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for baking our delicious loaf cake.
2. Greasing the Loaf Pan:
- Prepare a loaf pan by greasing it lightly to prevent the cake from sticking during baking. You can use coconut oil or a vegan-friendly cooking spray for this purpose.
3. Mixing the Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cinnamon, and vanilla powder. Ensure thorough mixing to evenly distribute the spices throughout the flour for a consistent flavor profile.
4. Blending the Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, mash the very ripe bananas until smooth and creamy. Add the coconut sugar, melted coconut oil, lemon juice, and plant-based milk with apple cider vinegar. Stir well to combine, creating a luscious wet mixture.
5. Combining Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring gently until fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to a dense texture in the final cake.
6. Folding in the Blueberries:
- Carefully fold the dusted wild blueberries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout. The bursts of juicy blueberries will add a delightful sweetness and color contrast to the cake.
7. Baking the Cake:
- Transfer the prepared batter into the greased loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 hour, or until the center is cooked through and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cooling and Serving:
- Once baked to perfection, remove the loaf cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
9. Enjoying the Blissful Delight:
- Slice the Vegan Wild Blueberry Loaf Cake into thick, generous slices and serve alongside your favorite hot beverage for a cozy and comforting treat. Whether enjoyed as a morning snack, afternoon indulgence, or after-dinner dessert, this cake is sure to satisfy your sweet cravings with its irresistible flavor and moist texture.
Nutritional Benefits and Tips:
- Antioxidant-Rich Blueberries: Wild blueberries are packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, offering numerous health benefits and a burst of flavor in every bite.
- Substitution Options: Feel free to customize this recipe by substituting the wild blueberries with your favorite berries or fruits, such as raspberries, blackberries, or diced apples, for endless flavor variations.
- Storage and Shelf Life: Store any leftover cake slices in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze them individually for longer storage. Simply thaw and reheat before serving for a fresh-from-the-oven experience.
