Spring "general cleaning" in the freezer: Delicious blackcurrant cake and sustainable habits
The last month of spring is here, and nature is sending us clear signals – the new berry season will be here soon! But before we fill our baskets with fresh strawberries and wild berries, it's time to look deep into our freezers. Do your freezers still "contain" last summer's treasures?
Sustainable Storage with Biobag
In our freezer, cranberries and blackcurrants patiently awaited their time, carefully packaged in Biobag freezer bags. These bags are special – they not only protect berries from frost but are also fully compostable. Once the berries are eaten, you can safely put the bag in your compost pile, just like Biobag biodegradable waste bags. A small step for you, but a huge benefit for nature!
For maintaining health: Cranberry juice with honey
While we prepare the blackcurrants for the cake, we save the cranberries for strengthening the body. Blend cranberries with warm (not hot!) water and add a spoonful of aromatic honey. This kind of juice is the best way to awaken spring energy!
Recipe: Spring Blackcurrant Cake for the Hasty
This cake is proof that delicious things can be made quickly, using quality helpers from our shelves.
Ingredients:
- 1 package of Dobeles dzirnavnieks quick cake mix
- Water and oil (according to package instructions)
- 2 cups frozen blackcurrants
- 200g sour cream
- 3 tablespoons coconut blossom sugar from ieber.lv
Preparation:
- Prepare the cake batter from the Dobeles dzirnavnieks mix, adding water and oil. Pour into a pan and bake until the base is almost ready.
- While the base is baking, mix blackcurrants with sour cream and coconut blossom sugar in a bowl. This sugar will give the cake a light caramel flavor and will be a healthier alternative to white sugar.
- Remove the base from the oven, cover with the prepared blackcurrant mixture and bake again for about 10-15 minutes, until the mixture "sets".
Enjoy this cake in good company, celebrating spring and togetherness!
