Be my guest Neha - Apple and Walnut loaf cake

Dear readers, the guest blogger on UK rasoi today is Neha Mathur, the bubbly girl from the ever so popular blog – Whisk affair. This lady from Bangalore has travelled a lot with her family across India and various other Countries, which is very well reflected in her cooking I must say. She is a Dental Surgeon by education, although she is not practising and spending her time blogging and enjoying with family. Apart  from that  she  likes doing various art and craft work,  and her home is full of her own paintings. She also loves to do Interior designing and have done a few projects for her friends. What a multi talented girl, hmm :)

Her space is filled with delectable recipes and witty, transparent, lucid writings promising to leave with a smile and doping an urge to come back for any reason oh not forgetting her gorgeous picture! Honestly I keep Neha's blog post to read in the mornings, you know start the day with a light heart. I eye all her bakes and traditional recipes and keep on bookmarking them, in a hope to try them all some day... Ahh !! The hopes.. 

Another amusing thing about Neha which I really admire is her ability of managing two separate blogs simultaneously. If you ask me, taking care of one is a full time job for me. And her regular presence on both the blogs is what amuse me so much. Hats off Neha ! :)

Her first blog is - Whisk Affair which brings out her love for baking and since whisk is a very important and basic tool, hence the name.
The second blog-  Everyday Musings is focused towards everyday Indian  cooking, which is full of tempting pictures and amazing recipes. 

In her own words :- I love to see so many people appreciate my recipes and presentation and that keeps me striving to achieve more.Thank you for the support and kind comments. It really means a lot to me and keeps me going.

Ladies and gentlemen here is Neha Mathur, tune in to her blog for more... And bundle of thanks to you Neha for coming over with my fav walnut cake loaf :)

Over to Neha now :-

Autumn is officially here and I love this time of the year. It comes with lots of festivities and celebrations and just the thought of sneaking in a light blanket and sipping some hot soup with a slice of freshly baked loaf makes me love the season all the more. Today's post is dedicated to this season and also to all the friends and well wishers I have made during these last 2 years of blogging. I came to know Nupur through her blog UK rasoi and loved the pics and recipes she has put on the space. Easy to follow instructions, lovely clicks and wonderful recipes took me again and again to her blog.

Some time back, when she asked me to do a guest post for her blog, I happily agreed and came up with the recipe of this Apple and walnut loaf cake, which is one of my favorite coffee cakes and I always associate this loaf with this season. Cinnamon and nutmeg gives this loaf a wonderful flavor and apple and walnuts adds to the flavor and texture. Enjoy this loaf with a cup of coffee or make a meal of it with a bowl of soup like I do. You can also use whole wheat flour to make it healthier. 

All you need is

• Baking soda - 1 tsp
• Cinnamon powder - 1 tsp
• Salt - 1\4 tsp
• Nutmeg powder - 1\4 tsp

• Brown sugar - 1\2 cup
• Apple - 3\4 cup ( grated )
• Eggs - 2
• Walnuts - 1\2 cup ( roasted and chopped )

Method of preparation

• Pre heat the oven to 180 degrees C.

• Mix all purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon powder, salt and nutmeg powder in a bowl.
• In another bowl, mix vegetable oil, buttermilk, brown sugar, grated apple and eggs.
• Mix the dry ingredients in the wet ingredients and mix till combined. ( Do not over mix )
• Fold in the walnuts.
• Pour the mixture in the prepared loaf pan.
