How about a healthy cake recipe? According to me all homemade cakes are healthy! Having these in the pantry helps when the 3pm snack timer goes off in your brain. Its better to have this than having a few store bought cookies or fried snacks.
Ingredients:
- Self Raising Flour - 1 cup
- Oil (Veg/Canola/Olive) I used vegetable oil, but its up to your choice and pantry - 1/2 cup
- Sugar - 1/2 cup
- Vanilla Essence - 1 tsp
- Chia seeds - 2 tbsp
- Blueberries - 100 gm
- Coconut flakes - 1/4 cup
- Eggs - 2
- Milk - 3 tsp
Method:
- Preheat oven to 160 degrees Celsius.
- Line a cake tin with butter paper and keep it ready.
- Crack 2 eggs in a big mixing bowl.
- Add sugar and beat with a spoon until there are no granules and sugar is mixed well with the eggs.
- Add oil and mix well until everything is mixed and forms a batter.
- To this add half the flour and fold it in.
- Add the next half and fold it in too.
- Add in and mix vanilla essence and milk at this time to get the right consistency.
- Mix in blueberries, coconut flakes and chia seeds. Keep some aside to sprinkle on top
- Pour this mixture into the cake tin evenly. Sprinkle the extras from top, the ones we kept aside in the previous step.
- Once the oven is preheated, put the cake on the middle rack and bake for 30 min.
- Do the toothpick test, if not completely baked, bake for another 5 mins. Baking time will vary based on the strength and design of your oven.
- Once baked, take out of the oven and let it cool.
- Cut and serve.
