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.

Greek Flavoured Chicken Brine

I used this with chicken drumsticks, but these flavours would also work well with pork.


Greek Flavoured Chicken Brine 
Makes 4 servings

Ingredients
  • 8 chicken drumsticks
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 3 cups water
  • 2 cups ice
  • 1 teaspoon dried onion flakes
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 lemon
Directions
  1. In a pot, combine salt, sugar and water. Bring to a simmer then remove from heat. Stir in spices and ice. It should cool completely, if not, add more ice or just let it sit until it's cool. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze it into the brine, include the lemon halves as well.
  2. Add the chicken pieces to a zipper bag or container. Pour the brine over and marinate for several hours. I marinated overnight. Remove the chicken from the brine and cook it however you like. Barbecue is great but it also works well baked in the oven with shake and bake coating.
