In the present day I am so excited to share this scrumptiously candy vanilla blueberry cake with you. It is obtained a tremendous texture and crumb, and is bursting with juicy baked blueberries.
And all that whereas being vegan, gluten-free, refined sugar-free, and oil-free <3
I have been having fun with baking with recent blueberries currently and have had this particular cake in thoughts for a complete week, however alas was lacking an ingredient so it needed to wait… However oh it was so price it 🙂
It ended up being the proper espresso / tea sort cake. Candy, springy, fruity. Superb with a cup of espresso…
I primarily based it off of my traditional cashew vanilla birthday cake recipe, however with just a few slight modifications:
- I added recent blueberries
- I skipped the frosting
- I skipped the guar gum
- I added extra salt
The blueberries impart a beautiful recent and mildly tangy spin to the cake. Leaving me to suppose this is able to be nice with a little bit of lemon zest folded in or lemon extract (or each).
However alas my husband would not like lemon a lot, so I by no means obtained to experiment as he was actually trying ahead to this cake. Leaving this experiment as much as the curious 😉 and am anticipating a full report in feedback!
Curiously this gluten-free blueberry cake labored completely with out the guar gum. During the last nevertheless a few years I started to suspect that guar gum is admittedly not all that important to gluten-free baking… this cake def proves the purpose effectively. Typically, much less is extra.
And whereas no frosting is required for the sort of cake for my part, I did sprinkle just a few of the slices with some powdered dried coconut milk (my trick for a powdered sugar substitute; simply make sure you decide a dairy-free product as some have milk components) and it was beautiful as effectively. So when you’re feeling a bit extra festive, that is one approach to spruce this cake up.
Lastly, for individuals who have made the traditional vanilla cake model of this, one distinction to notice is that the highest of this cake is not as exhausting / crusty and would not lend itself as simply (although completely doable) to frosting (ought to that be wanted), as a result of added moisture of the blueberries…
