I had a big bag of thawed frozen blueberries ( my freezer broke yesterday ) so i decided to make a blueberry cake …
In the beginning I was trying to copy a recipe but i have changed a few ingredients so i could make an healthier and lighter version of it.
The result was a incredibly amazing ! i have made a delicious cake ! that’s why i want to share my recipe.
INGREDIENTS (try to choose organic if you can)
Blueberries: 450 gr
Almond flour: 160 gr
Buckwheat flour: 50 gr
00 Flour: 30 gr
Organic brown coconut sugar: 150 gr
Coconut oil: 115 gr
Eggs (medium size): 2
coconut milk: 200 gr
one teaspoon of vanilla ( Madagascar is good )
baking powder: one spoon
Powder yeast for desserts: one spoon
Chia seeds: 4 spoons
One lemon zest
One pinch of salt
1 put the thawed blueberries in a strainer so there is no more liquid
2 put the sugar and the coconut oil in a bowl and mix them
3 add the lemon zest, the vanilla and the salt and the coconut milk … mix very well with electric hand mixer
4 in a separate container mix the flours, the yeast, the baking powder and the chia seeds
5 add the “dry” mix to the “wet” mix , a little bit at the time … keep mixing with the electric hand mixer
6 add about 3/4 of the blueberries and keep mixing using a wood spoon
7 prepare your baking pan and pour the mix in it
8 add the rest of the blueberries and make it flat
9 bake it on the lower level of the baking oven ( no fan) at 356 F for 50 minutes ( this is for a 9 inches pan )
* the convection oven (with the fan) is faster ( 42 minutes are enough ) .. that’s what i prefer ( moister inside )
* if you have a pan with a bigger diameter you need less time
10 check if the cake is cooked using a toothpick
11 Let the cake cool down, possibly using a cooling rack, not on a flat surface
let me know how it turned out !
