    Redcurrant Yoghurt Loaf Cake

    Jump to Recipe

    My bake for this week is a redcurrant yoghurt loaf cake made with a homemade redcurrant compote. T his is a yoghurt-based loaf cake (or quick bread) with redcurrant compote marbled through the cake mixture.

    Redcurrant Yoghurt Loaf Cake

    The redcurrants are very local, my mum grew them in her garden! Me and my children adore soft summer fruits like redcurrants, blackcurrants and gooseberries, as well, of course, as strawberries, raspberries and cherries, so they do feature quite often in cakes and bakes round here.

    Yoghurt cakes are soft and very easy to make, and I make them a lot when I have leftover yoghurt to use up. It is always great to make the best of the ripe summer fruits too!

    Redcurrant Yoghurt Loaf Cake

    This redcurrant yoghurt loaf cake is quite quick to make even if you make the redcurrant compote from scratch.

    I found that cooking the redcurrants first reduces the tartness you can get sometimes with them. My family loves the flavour and moist texture of a yoghurt cake as well. Win win really!

    Ingredients

    • 90 g unsalted butter
    • 120 g granulated sugar
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste I used Little Pod
    • 150 g self-raising flour
    • 90 g Greek yoghurt
    • 60 g redcurrant compote*
    UK Measurements - US Measurements

    Instructions 

    • Cream the butter together with the sugar until soft.
    • Add the eggs and mix well.
    • Add the vanilla bean paste and flour and fold in.
    • Add the yoghurt and mix well.
    • Drop in the redcurrant compote and mix gently so it stays a little marbled.
    • Pour the cake mixture into a 2 lb loaf tin, I prepared mine with cake release spray as I had run out of baking paper.
    • Bake at 180 degrees for approx. 30 minutes or until golden brown and the middle is cooked through (check using a cake tester or skewer).
    • Allow to cool slightly then remove gently from the loaf tin and leave to cool fully on  a rack.
    • Enjoy.

    Notes

    * I made my own redcurrant compote with 215 g of redcurrants, 125 ml of water and 65 g granulated sugar. Bring to the boil in a pan then reduce the heat and simmer until it begins to thicken and jellify (about 20 mins). Cool down and use in the recipe below. You'll also have some left over to serve with Greek yoghurt and oats for a lovely breakfast!

      I do love a good loaf cake as I think they are all about flavour rather than style. Yours sound, and looks delicious.

      I’ve got a redcurrant in my garden but it is only in its second year so the yield hasn’t been great yet. Hopefully next year I’ll get enough for a cake or two.

      I have found that redcurrant can be taste too tart so I like your method of cooking them first. Pinning! 🙂
