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.

The Best Banana Bread / Cake Recipe EVER

This is my favourite banana bread/cake recipe ever! You can also use this recipe to make cupcakes. 

I got this recipe from a free little booklet from Robin Hood flour from 1997. Although the image is different, I believe this is the same recipe from the book.

This one has walnuts.

To make a heart you put half the batter in a round pan and the other half in a square pan. When they're cooked and cooled. Cut the circle cake in half. Turn your square so you see a diamond. Add each half of the circle to the top edges of the diamond. Frost and drizzle with melted white chocolate, then put some toasted coconut around the edges.

On medium heat, cook 1 cup each frozen blueberries, frozen raspberries raspberries and 3 tablespoons sugar until the berries melt together into a sauce. Sprinkle on 1 teaspoon corn starch and stir until thickened. Remove from heat and chill until ready to use. Spread between layers of cake.
 
Walnuts and chocolate chips.
