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.

Pear Pie

I always find that the hardest part about making pies, is making the crust. If you want to save yourself some time, use a ready made pie crust! The rest is easy. Here we go. 

Pear Pie
Adapted from allrecipes.
Makes 8 Servings

 Ingredients
  • 1 ready made pie crust, 9" unbaked
  • 6 pears, peeled, cored and sliced
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs, beaten
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350F.
  2. In a bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until smooth, then beat in the eggs one at a time on medium speed until light and fluffy. Stir in the flour, cinnamon and vanilla, followed by the pears. Place the pear mixture into the pie crust.
  3. Bake for 1 hour, or until the pears are soft and the centre of the pie is set. Cool completely before serving.
  4. I tasted it warm (a la mode of course) and at room temperature. It's best when it's cool.

    Jenny, just popped over to let you know that your link to Food on Friday: Ham was featured in my Need Some Inspiration? Series today. Hope you are having a good week.

    PS That pear pie is so great. I have never cooked pear (other than poaching one in red wine once)
