Blueberry Banana Swirl Cake
I’m all about simple recipes that dial up the impress factor, and using a swirl is the perfect way to do that! It looks fancy, despite requiring very little effort. This moist Blueberry Banana Swirl Cake is the perfect fruity addition to your afternoon tea table.
While I love fruit, most banana cakes are loaded with too much sugar for my tastes – they often contain large amounts of added sugar on top of the bananas. Really bananas are sweet enough as is!
This recipe uses only two bananas, so the final serve is actually very low in sugar, despite bananas being a fruit with more sugar than most. I’ve also added my signature 1 ingredient blueberry jam. Which just like the cakes, uses the natural sweetness of fruit with no need for added sugar!
Nature always knows best!
