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.

Raisin Tea Cakes

These cake-y little gems are the result of me trying to find a way to use up some egg whites that I had sitting in the fridge. I have a jar of saffron infused water in my fridge all the time, but if you don't just soak a pinch of crushed saffron threads in 2 teaspoons of hot water and let it cool down.




Raisin Tea Cakes
Makes 16 cookies

Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 egg whites
  • 2 teaspoon saffron water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup raisins
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. Whip the butter until it turns lighter in colour.
  3. Beat in the eggs, saffron water and vanilla. 
  4. On low speed, add the sugar and flour until well combined, then stir in the raisins with a spatula.
  5. Use a medium cookie scoop or a teaspoon to drop batter onto the prepared pan about 2" apart.
  6. Bake for 12 minutes or until the edges start to turn golden. The tops don't really change colour so just keep your eye on them. Press one with your finger and if it feels spongy they're done.
