Banana Blueberry Yogurt Pound Cake 香蕉蓝莓优格磅蛋糕 (中英加图对照食谱)



I haven't bake a pound cake for quite some time and decided to try a new flavour. Since I've got honey greek yogurt, bananas and blueberries at home, I decided to combine these ingredients to bake a healthy one, at the same time try out my new Mastrad Savarin Cake pan. This cake turns out moist even though butter is cut substantially. This is due to the generous amount of Greek-style yogurt and mashed bananas which are healthy substitutes for fat in this recipe. 

好久没烤磅蛋糕了,也想尝试新口味, 就做了这健康的香蕉蓝莓优格磅蛋糕。这食谱用了大量的希腊式优格和香蕉,所以即使奶油的份量减了许多,蛋糕的质感依然湿润。 

This is the French Mastrad silicon cake mould I used to bake this pound cake.
我用了这法国Mastrad硅胶烤模来烤这磅蛋糕。



Banana Blueberry Yogurt Pound Cake 
香蕉蓝莓优格磅蛋糕 
(english recipe modified greatly from 'here', chinese recipe translated by bakingtaitai)



Can you spot the little 'heart' on the cut-out piece? :)  




Ingredients: (this recipe makes an 8" cake, click 'here' for pan conversion if you are using other sizes of pan)

240g plain flour (I used Blue Jacket unbleached all purpose flour)
1 tsp baking powder 
(I used aluminium-free baking powder which is healthier and improves the taste of your bakes)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
100g unsalted butter, soften at room temperature
150g caster sugar
2 large eggs (I used eggs weighing 65g each)
1/2 (3 inches) vanilla bean pod
250ml plain or greek-style yogurt (I used honey greek yogurt)
300g bananas, without skin (approximate 3 large)
1 punnet (125g) fresh blueberries, washed & pat dry




食材:可做八寸蛋糕)
240克 中筋面粉(我用水手牌特级粉心粉
1小匙 泡打粉
(我用无铝的泡打粉,不但健康还能改善糕点的味道)
1/2小匙 苏打粉
1/4小匙 盐
100克 无盐奶油,室温下软化
150克 细砂糖
2粒大鸡蛋(我用65克重的鸡蛋)
1/2条(3寸长)香草豆荚
250毫升 普通或希腊式酸奶(我用蜂蜜希腊式酸奶)
300克 香蕉,去皮 (大约三大条)
125克 新鲜蓝莓, 洗净擦干



Preparation准备:

1. Grease the baking pan.
1. 烤模抹油。




2. Weigh the ingredients.
2. 称量食材。



3. Remove seeds from the vanilla pod and add to eggs, slightly beat together. 
3. 取出香草籽,放入鸡蛋稍微搅拌一下。



4. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
4. 在一个碗里,放入面粉,泡打粉,苏打粉和盐,一起搅拌。


5. Mashed the bananas. 
5. 香蕉压成泥状。



Preparation work all done.
食材都准备好了



Method 做法:
1. Use an electric mixer to cream the butter and sugar together until well combined.
1. 
用电动搅拌机把奶油和糖搅拌均匀。



2. Beat in the eggs and vanilla mixture gradually. Scrape the sides when necessary.
2. 逐渐加入鸡蛋和香草混合物,搅拌均匀。


3. Using lowest speed, mix in one third of the flour mixture, followed by yogurt. Mix in another third of the flour mixture, followed by the mashed banana. Mix in remaining flour mixture until no flour is seen. (Mix the dry and wet ingredients until just combined will do. Do not over mix or you will overdeveloped the gluten causing the cake texture to be dense and hard) 
3. 用最低速度,拌入
三分之一面粉混合物,再加入优格。拌匀加入另外三分之一面粉混合物,再加入香蕉泥。最后加入剩余的面粉混合物,搅拌直到面粉完全混合均匀。(食材只要稍微搅拌就好,千万不可过度搅拌以免出筋,影响蛋糕质感。)




4. Dust 
the blueberries with a little flour and add to the batter. (This will prevent the blueberries from sinking all to the bottom.) 
4.蓝莓撒上少许面粉再加入到面糊。(这可防止蓝莓全沉到底下去。)



5. Pour batter into prepared pan.
5. 面糊倒入烤模。



6. Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C and bake for about 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. (My oven temperature setting: 150°C- 30 mins, 160°C- 20 mins)
6. 放入预热烤箱以170摄氏度烘烤约60分钟或直达竹签插入中心没有粘黏就可以
取出。(我的烤箱调的温度是:150°C- 30 分钟,160°C- 20分钟)



7. Remove from the oven, allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before storing in an air-tight container.
7. 从烤箱取出,蛋糕在烤模放凉十分钟,再取出倒放在凉网上,待凉透就可以放入密封盒保存。

It is normal for pound cakes to have cracked top. 
磅蛋糕表面有裂痕是正常的。

Hi what is aluminum free baking powder?what the different between this and the normal baking powder? where can I buy from?thks

Hi Shirley, aluminium-free means the baking powder does not contain aluminium at all. The normal baking powder contains aluminium and it gives food a vaguely metallic taste plus there are also associated health concerns with any increase in aluminum in our diets. Thus, I prefer to use aluminium-free baking powder which is healthier and improves the taste of your bakes too.
