I was feeling rich with blueberries today...

Bought a whole load of them from the farmers mart...

and used the whole lot of 1 and a half cup of super fresh berries for this cake =P

wholemeal blueberry summer cake

1 large egg (add 1t of vanilla essence)

1/2cup milk

1/2 cup plain yoghurt

3T olive oil

2 cups flour

1/2 cup sugar

1T + 1t baking powder

1/2 t salt

1 and half cups fresh blueberries

Preheat oven to 190deg C.

In a big bowl, whisk the egg, milk, yoghurt and oil together till you get a creamy texture.

Sift the dry ingredients into the bowl, and fold in the blueberries.

Pour into a greased cake tin.

Bake for 30 to 40min.

For a sweeter version, top batter with 3T sugar, 2T chopped walnuts & 1/2t cinammon powder.

The first bite reminded me of how i baked my first blueberry muffin with dad.

Using the betty crockers premix, we were supposed to rinse the canned berries before tossing into the batter, but cos we tossed everything in, the muffin turned out blue! >.<

But it was very yummy...

Yeah, my love for baking probably started with dad and the betty crockers we used to buy.

And my interest in cooking healthily probably stemmed from watching mum drenched in perspiration in the kitchen, snipping off the fats from the meats she bought.

Singaporean food is basically very oily, not to mention peranakan food, very rich!

But mum makes everything so lean yet full of flavour, which i grew up getting so addicted to.

Ok, off topic, anyway... presenting the long waited dried sour plums!!!

After 3 days of sunning them, we finally got to taste our own umeboshi.

I had to have more rice today.

Todays dinner was packed with more vegetables again =)

Steamed mini pumpkin with tofu & mushroom sauce, steamed garlic brocolli with small white fish, grilled peppers topped on mashed potato drizzled with balsamic sauce & topped with sunflower seeds.

=) didnt add meat onto our plates today!
