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.

Layered Mango, Strawberry and Banana Smoothie

I thought this layered smoothie looked like fun! My mangoes were a little sour though. Try to find sweet mangoes or you could even use frozen ones. I added some honey to sweeten it up. If your mangoes are sweet, omit the honey from the recipe.

I used coconut flavoured almond milk in this recipe even though it called for coconut milk (which I don't have).

Omit the honey to make this vegan.



Layered Mango, Strawberry and Banana Smoothie
Adapted from Incredible Smoothies
Makes 2-3 servings (or 1 really big one)

Ingredients
For the Bottom Layer
  • 1 ripe mango
  • 1/2 an orange, peeled
  • 1/2 cup almond milk (or coconut milk)
  • 1 tablespoon honey (maple syrup for vegans)
For the Top Layer
  • 1 medium banana, peeled
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • 1/2 cup almond milk (or coconut milk)
Directions
  1. In a blender (or Magic Bullet), puree the bottom layer ingredients until smooth. Divide among 2 glasses.
  2. In the same blender, puree the top layer ingredients until smooth. Use a spoon and place the top layer gently into the glass. If you pour it, the layers will mix.
  3. It's that simple! Serve cold.
Tips:
  • If you wanted a more slushy texture, freeze your fruit first. Strawberries and mangoes come already frozen. I've never seen frozen bananas in my stores, but I suppose it's possible. I just slice and freeze my own.
