I ran out of eggs but still wanted to make a raspberry cake. It turned out really really delicious! You’ll need some 200 gr raspberries, 2 cups flour, one and a half cup milk, 1/2 cup oil, 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup  cocoa, vanilla essence, 1 tsp salt, 1 tbsp baking soda, 1 tbsp vinegar.

Instructions

  1. In a big bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and cocoa.

  2. Gradually incorporate milk.
  3. Add vinegar.
  4. Add vanilla essence.
  5. Pour everything in a rectangular cake pan and spread it evenly with a spoon. Using your hand, spread the raspberries on top and push them gently in with the spoon.
  6. Bake for some 45 minutes or until done (350F).

berrycobblerThis delicious recipe for a berry cobbler came on the inside of a pan box. I made it today – and I have to hurry up with this post cause the dessert is waiting for me to eat it…

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine
  • 2 cups white flour
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 and 1/2 cups berries (anything goes, really. I used one of those boxes of frozen raspberries from Superstore and some blackberries I had in the freezer)
  • baking soda
  • optional: cinnamon
  1. Pre-heat oven at 350F.
  2. Pour softened butter/ margarine in the pan (being in a hurry, I just put the butter in the pan, and then put the pan in the oven while it is heating up. Remove when melted).
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, the sugar and the milk. Add some 1 tsp of baking soda dissolved in a few drops of lemon juice. Pour everything in the pan, over the melted butter.  Sprinkle with cinnamon (optional. I usually keep cinnamon sticks in the sugar jar, so the sugar is always imbued with cinnamon essence)
  4. Add the berries and leave in the oven for 30-45 minutes.
