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.

Banana Avocado Sticky Pudding

Okay, so I was trying to do something with brown bananas other than banana bread and I decided I'd try to make brownies. It didn't really work out. I've never made (or even tasted) a sticky pudding but this is what I imagine the texture to be like, so I'm going to call this a sticky pudding. Maybe an extra half cup of flour would do the trick and turn these into brownies?

And is it just me or does the combination of avocado and banana smell and taste like cherry? My mom agrees with me. I was searching for something cherry in the kitchen and came to the conclusion that the smell could only be coming from the batter. That didn't change as it was baking or when it was done. Maybe we're just a little crazy. You decide if we're right if you decide make them. They were tasty even with the sticky texture, and you can't taste the avocado.

I mashed the avocado and the banana but you could probably puree them. It may change the texture even more though.

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cocoa

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a 9x13 glass dish with parchment and grease it up a little.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the milk, sugar, vanilla and eggs until well mixed. Add the bananas and avocado and mix well again.
  3. Sift the dry ingredients into the wet and stir with a rubber spatula just until combined.
