Servings: 1 Large Cake (12-16 Slices)
Calories: 188
Ingredients
- 2 Medium Eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar (200 grams)
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (280 grams)
- ½ cup Sunflower Oil (125 ml)
- 1 cup Milk (250 ml)
- 1 cup Blueberries (150 grams)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 355°F/180°C.
- Mix the eggs and sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add baking powder to the flour and sift these into the egg mixture. Fold them in using a spatula first, then use a mixer to get smooth batter.
- Pour in oil and milk and mix well with electric mixer.
- Prepare your cake tin for baking by lining the bottom with baking paper and greasing the sides with butter. Pour the batter in and top with blueberries.
- Bake for 45 minutes or until an inserted skewer comes out clean.
Notes
- Sunflower oil can be substituted with vegetable oil.
- If you don’t have a measuring cup, you can use a mug instead. Just make sure to use the same size mug to measure all the ingredients.
- You can use fresh or frozen blueberries. When you use frozen ones, don’t defrost them.
- Raspberries, blackberries, black or redcurrants work also well here.
- Baking time can vary – this depends on the tin you use, on your oven and also on the altitude you live in.
- Cake pan used in this recipe is 8.5 inch/22 cm wide. It will yield 12-16 slices, depending on their size (this will also affect the nutritional count – the thinner slices the lower the nutritional values in each slice).
