Rasberry or Rasbhari as it is called in India is a different variety of berry family. It is yellow orange in color and is very tart for taste buds. It has lots of health benefits. They are anti oxidants. They are rich in compounds such as magnesium, iron, copper and manganese that increase red blood cells in the body and decrease anemia. They have low level of sodium and high levels of potassium, known to lower blood pressure. This fruit is rich in dietary fiber and low in calories and saturated fat.
Since I could not eat too much of this tart fruit, I decided to make a coffee cake of those berries.
.Ingredients:
White flour 1 ¼ cups, wheat flour 1 cup, sugar ½ cup, brown sugar 1 ¼ cups, baking powder 2 tsp, baking soda ½ tsp, a pinch of salt, ¾ cup cooking oil, 3 eggs, 1 tsp vanilla essence, 2 cups chopped raspberries, 1 cup chopped cashews and walnuts.
Method:
Combine both the flours, both kinds of sugars, baking powder, baking soda and a pinch of salt in a bowl. In a different bowl beat eggs, cooking oil and vanilla essence till creamy. Add dry ingredients and mix well. Stir in fruits and nuts and make sure everything is well blended. Bake in 180 degrees C (325 F) for 45- 50 minutes. If you like you can drizzle it with sugar glaze.
