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.

Homemade Breadcrumbs

If you're like me, you throw away a lot of bread. I even freeze it only to throw it out later anyway. So I decided to make breadcrumbs. I'm not sure if white bread would work well (since it's so soft) unless you left the bag open for a day or two to let it dry out a bit.


Homemade Breadcrumbs
Ingredients
  • Day old bread (I used 3 whole wheat flat breads from my freezer, defrosted)
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400F.
  2. Put the bread in a food processor (but don't over fill it) and pulse until crumbly. There will be larger chunks but don't worry at this point.
  3. Place in a thin layer of crumbs on a baking sheet (or two) and bake stirring as it browns. Bake until it gets crispy but not burnt. I didn't time it. Oops!
  4. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely. Take the crumbs for another ride in the food processor to make them as fine or course as you like. Season with herbs, spices or parmesan cheese if desired.
  5. I left mine plain and stored them in the freezer.
