Orange Blueberry Pound Cake

I know I already made something this week, but my husband was looking for egg-less recipes (since our 2 year old is allergic to eggs) and he found this.  It looked so tasty that I wanted to try it.  So I guess this week is my twice a week... I have the feeling that some weeks are just going to be two treat weeks.

The original recipe called this a bread, but I thought it had a very pound cake like consistency, so I'm calling it a cake.  In fact, I may tweak this recipe in the future for other pound cake flavor options.




1  1/2 cups flour 
1/4 tsp baking soda 
1 1/4 tsp baking powder 
1/2 tsp salt
5 Tbsp butter, melted
1 cupsugar
1/4 cup applesauce
1/4 cup plain yogurt
4 Tbsp orange juice
1 Tbsp orange zest
1/2 cup milk
1 cup blueberries
1/2 cup pecans, chopped

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.Prepare a loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray. 
  2. In a small bowl whisk together the applesauce, yogurt, orange juice and zest.
  3. In a large bowl mix the sugar and melted butter for about 5 minutes.  This is going to look somewhat crumbly.  Add the applesauce/yogurt mixture to this.  It will look a little curdled.
  4. Add the dry ingredients and milk, mixing after each addition.
  5. Fold in the blueberries and pecans.
  6. Pour batter into loaf pan and bake for about 1 hour, or until the cake is golden brown.  Allow it to cool and then enjoy!
