Time 1h10m

Yield 12-16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 Tbsp unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup sugar
3 eggs, at room temperature
⅔ cup plain yogurt
2 tsp finely grated orange zest
1 ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
Pinch ground cinnamon
1 cup peeled and diced fresh peaches, or one tin (14 oz/398 mL) crushed pineapple, well-drained
½ cup raisins
⅓ cup sweetened, shredded coconut

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325f (160c) and grease a 9 - 5-inch (2 L) loaf pan.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together. Add the eggs to the butter mixture one at a time, blending well after each addition. Stir in the yogurt and orange zest.
  • In a separate bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon, and stir this into the butter mixture. Stir in the peaches (or pineapple, if using), raisins, and coconut. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 60 to 70 minutes, until a tester inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean. Cool the loaf for 30 minutes, then tap it out of the pan to cool completely on a cooling rack. The loaf will keep, well wrapped and unrefrigerated, for up to 3 days.
  • Even when trying to be healthy and more wholesome in baking, you need to use full-fat sour cream and yogurt in your recipes. Sour cream and yogurt are tasty ways to add moisture and richness to coffee cakes and muffins, but using full fat versions is the key to successful baking. That sour cream you use should be 14 percent and the yogurt should be a minimum of 3 percent, ideally 6 percent. The reason for these high percentages is that the lower-fat options are set with other thickeners such as guar gum, starch, or even gelatin. Once heated, the thickening agents dissolve and the lower-fat sour cream or yogurt turns watery. Therefore baked items could be dense or heavy coming out of the oven, and crumble easily after cooling.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h25m

Yield 12 mini loaves

Number Of Ingredients 19

Cooking spray
1/2 cup pecan halves
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
1 cup sour cream
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 large eggs
2 cups shredded carrots (about 1/2 pound carrots)
1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup whipped cream cheese
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Pinch fine salt

Steps:

  • For the cakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 12-cup mini loaf pan with cooking spray.
  • Spread the pecans out on 1 side of a rimmed baking sheet, the coconut on the other, and bake until both are toasted, 5 to 7 minutes. Let cool, then finely chop the pecans.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the butter, sour cream, brown sugar, vanilla and eggs in another large bowl. Stir the carrots, pecans and coconut into the egg mixture. Fold the flour mixture into the carrot-egg mixture until just combined. Divide evenly among the prepared pans (about 3 heaping tablespoons of batter per loaf). (Don't be alarmed if the batter seems skimpy; the cakes will rise once baked.)
  • Bake until the center of a cake bounces back when pressed and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, 20 to 22 minutes. Let the cakes cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
  • For the glaze: Mix together the confectioners' sugar, cream cheese, lemon juice and salt in a medium bowl. Top each loaf with about 1 tablespoon of the glaze, and spread evenly with the back of the spoon.

Tips:

  • For a moist and flavorful loaf, use fresh zucchini and carrots. Grating the vegetables will help them blend seamlessly into the batter.
  • To achieve a golden brown crust, brush the top of the loaf with melted butter or milk before baking.
  • For a sweeter loaf, add an extra 1/2 cup of sugar to the batter. You can also add a handful of raisins or chopped nuts for a more textured loaf.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Store the loaf in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the loaf for up to 2 months.
