For the final Class before I have several weeks off for the birth and new mum role, i made this which was decided on by the contents of my cupboards. It didn’t rise that well and I overmixed the blueberries so the whole sponge had a blue tinge to it! For a low sugar, no egg or butter loaf recipe it was rather good.
Ingredients 200g self rising flour 150g sugar (i used granulated) 4tbs Greek yogurt 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda 3 tbs oil ( I used rapeseed oil) 1/2 a lemon-use the juice and rind 1/2 banana mashed 100g blueberries (i used defrosted one) Topping 1 tbs jam of your choice 2-3 tbs desiccated coconut
Method
- Mix the sugar and oil together
- Add the flour and bicarb
- Beat in the banana
- Add the yogurt (may need a bit more than stated to create a wet, thick batter)
- Add the lemon juice and rind
- Finally stir in the blueberries and pour into a greased and lined loaf tin
- Oven at 160 degrees for 25 mins
- Take from oven and allow to sit for 10 minutes before turning out to cool
- Once cool brush melted jam onto the top and sides and roll cake in desiccated coconut
