One Bowl Berry Coffee Cake

I had some berries they weren’t being eaten so I made this delicious berry cake. I had fresh berries but you could also use frozen. This cake is so easy to make, and you only need one bowl. I think it would also taste great with cranberries and lemon extract instead of almond.  One Bowl Berry Coffee Cake Makes 1 11x7” Cake Ingredients 2 cups fresh berries (I used blueberries and strawberries)  1/4 cup brown sugar 3/4 cup white sugar 1/4 cup butter, melted 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon almond extract 2 large eggs 3/4 cup sour cream 1/4 cup milk 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/3 cup sliced or sliced almonds Brown sugar for topping Directions Preheat the oven to 350F and grease an 11”x7” baking dish.

Persian Kotlet (cutlet, hamburger)

I also like to eat the leftovers cold, on bread, with mustard. I'm a little strange. 

Persian Kotlet (cutlet, hamburger)
Makes approximately 12 patties

Ingredients
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 small onion, grated
  • 2 medium potatoes, boiled, skin removed & mashed or grated
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 1 tbsp dried parsley (or 1/4 cup chopped fresh if you have it)
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • oil for frying
  • 1 large tomato, quartered
  • 1 bell pepper, seeded and cut into large chunks
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric,
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon tomato paste
Directions
  1. Mix it all up with your hands (except breadcrumbs) until well combined.
  2. Take about 1/4 cup of the mixture and form into flat ovals. Coat with breadcrumbs and fry in a touch of olive oil for a few minutes per side until golden and cooked through (timing will depend how thick your patties are).
  3. Serve with rice or pita.
  4. These go nicely with stewed tomatoes and red peppers (which I didn't take a photo of). Place the tomato, pepper, water, turmeric, cinnamon and salt in a medium pot. Bring up to a simmer on medium heat and allow to cook for about 15 minutes until the tomatoes and peppers are soft.
  5. Stir in the tomato paste to make a thick sauce. You can add a splash of water if there isn't enough left in the pot.
