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.

Pop (aka Soda) Cupcakes

I'm sure you've all heard of Diet Coke cupcakes where you mix a box of cake mix with a can of Diet Coke. I'm not crazy about Diet drinks or sweeteners in general. The last batch of muffins I made with Splenda went straight into the trash. But if you don't mind sweeteners, then go ahead and use diet drinks if you like.

What I decided to do here, is make a small batch of cupcakes using a regular carbonated beverage. I had a bottle of blood orange flavour, but you could mix and match any flavour of pop with any flavour of cake mix. Some popular combinations are Coke or root beer with chocolate cake mix, ginger ale with spice cake mix or sprite with white cake mix. As you can imagine, there are so many more combinations you could try.

These didn't rise very much but they were extremely moist! Maybe I'll use a little more cake mix next time to see what happens.
