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.

Indian Butter Chicken

My first attempt at butter chicken. I adapted the recipe from one I found online but I can't remember where I found it now. It tasted nothing like what I've had in restaurants but it was still delicious. It may have something to do with the amount of cream they use in restaurant cooking.


Indian Butter Chicken
Makes 4-6 servings

Ingredients
  • 3 cups left over lemon or tandoori chicken breast cubes
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
  • 2 cups canned tomato puree
  • 3/4 cup plain yogurt
  • 1/2 tsp garam masala (it called for more but this was enough for my liking)
  • 1/4 tsp crushed dry bayleaf
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • cayenne pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp yogurt
  • 2 tbsp milk
Directions
  1. Fry the onion on medium heat in the oil and butter until it starts to brown. Add garlic and ginger and fry for just a few seconds, try not to burn it.
  2. Mix the rest of the ingredients except for the last two (yogurt and milk) and add to the pot. Simmer for a few minutes then add the cubed cooked chicken. I had this left over from the night before.
  3. Once the chicken has heated in the sauce, mix the yogurt & milk and stir into the pot.
  4. Serve with naan or pita.
Tip: You could add some fresh chopped cilantro at the end but I'm not a big fan of it so I didn't put it in. I'm more of a parsley girl.
