Blueberry Cake
A simple cake made delicious with fruits and nuts topping.
Fruit and nuts can provide the essential elements of a healthy diet.
Most fruits contain no fats and are source of good vitamins, minerals and fibre.
Nuts contain some fat, but also give you protein, vitamins and fibre.

Most cakes contain butter and sugar, so carbohydrate and fat is the content.
However, you can cut down the sugar and substitute with wholesome and delicious addition. Berries such as blueberries, blackberries and raspberries are good to use in this cake because the juice seeps through the cake.
Other fruits are just as good, like bananas, dates and apples.
Nuts can be used as a super crunchy topping on simple cake.
