Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Star fruit (carambola)
- 120 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 240 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 large Eggs
- 120 milliliters Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 60 milliliters Milk
- 50 grams Walnuts (optional, chopped)
- 10 grams Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.
Rinse the star fruits and pat them dry. Trim off the edges and tips, then cut them into small pieces. Remove any seeds and puree the pieces in a blender or food processor until smooth. You should yield about 1 cup of star fruit puree.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the star fruit puree until evenly distributed. If using walnuts, gently fold them into the batter at this point.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving. Slice and enjoy your Star Fruit Carambola Bread!
