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. Combine berries and brown sugar in a bowl. Set aside.  Beat butter and sugar in a large bowl.

Shaped Calzones

These were the cutest thing ever! I actually made them before Valentine's Day but haven't had time to post. 

I made this dough and didn't like it so I won't bother sharing the recipe. Use a dough recipe that you know will work, then use large cookie cutters in your favourite shape.

I didn't do a good job sealing the edges, but I love crispy cheese anyway!

Turkey pepperoni and olives. Ham and pineapple.

Using the fork here to pinch the edges.

And if you get tired of making little ones, just make a regular pizza.

All done!

Shaped Calzones

Ingredients
  • pizza dough
  • pizza sauce (I used the one in the squeeze bottle)
  • cheese
  • pizza toppings (I found some great turkey pepperoni!)
  • oil
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 450F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. Roll out your dough to about 1/4" thick and cut shapes with a large cookie cutter.
  3. Place sauce, cheese and a few toppings onto one of the shapes. Run a line of water with your finger around the edge of the dough, then place a second shape on top. Use a fork to push the edges of dough together. Brush with a bit of oil and sprinkle on some cheese if you like.
  4. Place the calzones on the prepared pan and bake for about 15 minutes or until dough is cooked through and the cheese is melted inside.
  5. Cool slightly before serving. The inside will be hot!
