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.

Basil Pesto

This is good on pasta or as a spread on your sandwich. I love pesto but the prepared one from the store seems very oily. You can control that by making it yourself!


Basil Pesto
Makes about 1/2 cup (8 tablespoons)

Ingredients
  • 2 cups fresh basil leaves, washed
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 3 tablespoons fresh grated Parmesan
  • 2 tablespoons walnuts (or other nut of choice)
  • squeeze of lemon juice
  • a few cracks of black pepper
Directions
  1. Put it all in a food processor and let it go until it's a chunky paste. The cheese is salty so I didn't add any extra.
Tips:
  • If it's too thick add a little more oil or a few drops of water. I think a traditional recipe calls for pine nuts so you could certainly substitute those for the walnuts.
