Vegan Blackberry Lime Drizzle Loaf Cake Posted: 03 Jul 2021 01:47 AM PDT The ultimate fruity, vegan loaf cake with blackberries and lime, topped with a lime drizzle. A super easy and fluffy cake to share. VEGAN BLACKBERRY LIME DRIZZLE LOAF CAKEI am so excited to share this fluffy cake with you. It's one of my favourite loaf cakes so far. It's super fruity. The light and fluffy sponge is studded with blackberries and flavoured with lime. For even more lime flavour, it's drizzled with a sweetened lime drizzle. Oh my goodness it's good! BLACKBERRIESBlackberries are available in Scotland through the summer up until October. We often pick them wild when out walking. They grow wild across the country. Of course, you can buy them in supermarkets too, but if you are in Scotland, do keep an eye out when out walking for the thorny bushes they grow on. ARE BRAMBLES AND BLACKBERRIES THE SAME THING?In Scotland, we call blackberries brambles. Bramble is the Scottish name for the bush that blackberries are grown on but we also call the fruit brambles. The Latin name for them is rubus fruitcosus. I think bramble sounds better, don't you? ARE BLACKBERRIES GOOD FOR YOU?Blackberries could almost be hailed a superfood. They are high in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. They are also low in calorie and a generous handful (about 10 berries) count as one of your 5-a-day (although now they say you should really aim for 10 fruit and veg a day). FOLKLORE ABOUT BLACKBERRIESThere are several traditional tales in Britain about blackberries.
FRESH LIMEYou need 4 medium limes to make this cake. I told you it was fruity. The cake batter is flavoured with lime juice and finely grated lime zest. As if that wasn't fruity enough, the cake is topped with lime drizzle. LIME DRIZZLE This cake is finished with a tasty lime drizzle. The drizzle is a simple mixture of fresh lime juice and sugar. HOW TO APPLY LIME DRIZZLE TO A CAKEThe best time to apply the lime drizzle is when the cake is hot and just out of the oven. Remove the cake from the oven, leaving it in the cake tin and pop it on a baking rack. Before it cools, prick the top of the cake with a toothpick or skewer. Pour the lime drizzle over the cake and some of the drizzle will sink into the cake through the holes. Leave to cool for 10 minutes in the tin before carefully removing it and placing it on the baking rack to continue cooling. FLUFFY MOIST CAKEThis cake is fluffy and moist. It's one of several vegan loaf cakes I make. They are all super simple and use a jug for the liquids and a bowl for the dry ingredients. The wet ingredients are folded into the dry and that's it, your cake batter is ready to be poured into the loaf tin and baked. There are no eggs or egg replacements, but it is still light and fluffy. WHAT DO YOU USE INSTEAD OF EGGS?I don't use eggs or egg replacers in my loaf cakes. For that light finish and fluffy texture, I rely on a chemical reaction. The baking powder I add reacts with an acid. In this cake the acid is lime juice, but it could also be lemon juice or even white wine vinegar or cider vinegar. HOW DO YOU STOP FRUIT FROM SINKING TO THE BOTTOM OF YOUR CAKE? As you can see from my cake the fruit is evenly dispersed through the cake. But, I bet we have all made a cake where the fruit all sinks to the bottom. If can be the weight of the fruit or the juices that can cause this, but don't despair, there is an easy way to prevent it happening. Just coat the fruit in flour before it is added and that gives it a bit of grip so it doesn't sink. For this cake, I just tossed the blackberries in the dry ingredients before adding the wet ingredients and that did just as good a job. WHAT DO YOU NEED TO MAKE BLACKBERRY LIME DRIZZLE CAKEYou just need a few simple ingredients and very little equipment to make this zingy, fruity cake. EQUIPMENT
INGREDIENTS
HOW LONG WILL BLACKBERRY LOAF CAKE KEEP?This loaf cake can be wrapped in baking paper and kept in an airtight container for 2-3 days. If you like you can keep it in an airtight container in the fridge. It can be kept longer, but I think it's at it's best in the first 2 or 3 days. CAN YOU FREEZE BLACKBERRY LOAF CAKE?You can slice this cake and flash freeze it in slices, then pop into freezer bags. To defrost it, take a slice out of the freezer and defrost in the fridge.
