Blackcurrant buttermilk cake – notes
We recently went on our winter holiday and I needed a cake that, firstly, would travel well, secondly, would stay fresh for a long time and not spoil quickly, and thirdly, would be slightly moist and preferably with a fruity element. This is how I baked this delicious buttermilk cake with blackcurrant jam and a lightly cinnamon streusel. The cake turned out so delicious that it only lasted until the 3rd day of our holiday! That’s the best review for me – you have to bake this cake too!
What ingredients are essential for preparing blackcurrant cake?
To bake this cake, you will only need a few basic ingredients. Below is a condensed list of the products I used and possible substitutes.
- buttermilk – of course, it’s natural buttermilk; you can replace it with kefir or natural yogurt of a thinner consistency
- blackcurrant preserve – you can also use blackcurrant fruit spread; I don’t recommend store-bought jams because they usually contain gelatin or another gelling agent and can melt significantly under heat
- oil – I used rapeseed oil, but you can use another mild-flavored oil, or you can use melted and cooled butter
- wheat flour – you can use all-purpose flour
Can this cake be made in a different flavor version?
Of course, you can replace the blackcurrant preserve with a preserve of a different flavor. And if you don’t have preserve, you can top the cake with small fruits – e.g., forest fruits, raspberries, blueberries, or sliced strawberries. For flavor, you can add a little lemon extract, or lemon juice or zest, to the cake instead of vanilla.
How many calories does blackcurrant and crumble cake have?
In the table below the recipe, I provided the calorie count for 100g of cake (using the products I used), but if you divide the cake into approximately 24 equal portions, each will have about 272 kcal (carbohydrates 31g, fats 14g, proteins 5g).
How to store blackcurrant cake?
After the blackcurrant cake has completely cooled, it’s worth transferring it to an airtight container with a lid; this will help it retain freshness and softness for a long time. If it’s not very hot, you don’t need to put the cake in the refrigerator. It can safely stay at room temperature for several days.
You can also freeze the cake for about 3 months.
