Blueberry cake


In winter, I am put off by the tang of blueberries in my porridge. I happily substitute them for dry fruits such as dates or apricot. However I still like to enjoy them in a smoothie or cooked such as in this cake. Aside from your oven, this easy one bowl/one spoon cake won't require any fancy gadget to make while the result will still be so staysfying. It is low in sugar, butter free and counts towards your five a day. Ideal for a snack or after-school hunger.

170ml vegetable oil
3 eggs
80g sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
300g self-rising flour

  • Add 300g self-rising flour and 180ml milk
  • Incorporate the blueberries

What I like about those biscuits is that there are minimum fuss for a maximum of flavour. They really are incomparable with the store bought ones. If you are more a chocolate type of person, you can easily substitute the jam with chocolate spread.

Fold 220g plain flour in. Make little balls the size of a walnut and place them on baking paper on a tray. Press your thumb in the centre of each ball and drop in a bit of jam. Bake for 12 minutes. Its's ready, enjoy!
