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.

Cream Cheese Frosting

I've been using this cream cheese frosting recipe on my bundt cakes and sheet cakes regularly. I especially love it on carrot cake and banana bread / cake or cupcakes. You could also use it to frost cinnamon rolls! 

This recipe is adapted from Baked by an Introvert. I cut the recipe in half and left out the orange zest. This is enough for a good layer of frosting on one bundt cake.

Cream Cheese Frosting

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup salted butter, softened
  • 1 8oz package cream cheese, softened (full fat - brick form)
  • 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
  • 1/2 tablespoon meringue powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
Directions
  1. Whip the butter and cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until well combined.  Use a large bowl so the sugar doesn't fly everywhere when you add it.
  2. Add sugar, meringue powder, vanilla, and salt. Beat on low to combine (so you don't make a mess), then on high until the frosting is fluffy. 
  3. This can be used immediately on cooled cakes, cupcakes, bars, squares, or warm cinnamon rolls. Store any leftovers in the fridge.
