Make your Celebrations and Festivals more divine with this luscious and healthful -Blueberry Spiced Chocolate Bundt Cake.
This one I had made for my Hubby’s Birthday. I inaugurated my new Bundt pan with this luscious cake. The Bundt pan just made the cake look more elegant and the Blueberry sauce poured over it just made my cake look more appealing.
I have always tried to make my homemade cakes for birthdays and celebrations as close to being as possible , sometimes exceptions did exist though. This Chocolate has been made up of flour & cocoa + sugar + eggs + oil + spices(always goes best with chocolate cakes). To make it wholesome I replaced some part of all purpose flour with ragi flour – made of foxtail millet and substituted some part of sugar with jaggery.
Spices are the most integral part of this cake. Alongwith with apple, orange rind and blueberry it takes the flavour of cocoa to a different level.
This cake is made simple by preparing the wet ingredients together step by step and then mixing them with dry ingredients. The Blueberry sauce in this recipe is made using whole milk. Full cream milk gave me the advantage to boil with cocoa for sometime till the milk had reduced as compared to using heavy whipping cream which cannot be boiled longer. Boiling with cocoa brings out the rich dark colour of chocolate .
Check out the recipe of this cake and Enjoy baking it.
