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.

Flaky Sesame Rolls

I'm not sure I'd consider these flaky, they were more like regular bread rolls, but still very tasty. I will try again with more butter between the layers next time!




Flaky Sesame Rolls
Original recipe by Ninik Becker
Makes 16 rolls

Ingredients
  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons fast acting (instant) yeast
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • sesame seeds for layering/coating
  • butter for between layers
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tablespoons water
Directions
  1. Combine flour, yeast, sugar, butter, milk and salt in a bowl (or stand mixer) until a ball of dough forms. It will be slightly sticky. turn out onto a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes (or allow the mixer to knead).
  2. Turn out onto a board and cut into 4 equal parts. 
  3. Roll each part into a circle as flat as you can. You want to see through it. If it's giving you a hard time, let the dough relax for a few minutes and then continue. 
  4. Place one sheet of dough on your work surface and brush melted butter all over. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Place another sheet of dough on top of the first and repeat the butter/sesame step. Repeat with the third layer. Place the fourth layer on top and brush with butter (no seeds yet).
  5. Use a pizza cutter to cut 16 rectangles from the circle. 
  6. Start rolling the triangles from the fat end to the tip (like a croissant).
  7. Roll the crescents in sesame seeds (no need to pre-toast as they will toast during baking), and set on a parchment lined baking sheet at least 1" apart.
  8. Cover and set in a warm place to rise for 1-2 hours.
  9. Preheat the oven to 350F.
  10. Combine egg yolk and water and brush over the risen rolls.
  11. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden.
Tips:
  • To add a bit more colour I added some nigella seeds to the top. You can also use poppy seeds, black sesame or caraway.
