One Bowl Baking: Blueberry Breakfast Cake



In my new kitchen, with my new sink, lighted by my new pendant light (you can tell I am happy) dishes are washed with a smile on my--must be honest here--husband's face, since he does the dishes the majority of the time. Anyway, I just might have found a way to make dishwashing a little more tolerable, and a way you can gain back a few minutes to linger a little longer at the breakfast table, by cutting back on the amount of dishes you use when baking. Hence, the one bowl recipe! Who wants to have a whole sink full of dishes to wash right after breakfast? Problem solved!




Blueberry Breakfast Cake- using only ONE bowl!

5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 cup plain yogurt (nonfat works fine- I use lowfat)
1 tsp almond ext.
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup unbleached all purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
2 cups fresh blueberries

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease 8 or 9 inch pie pan. In one large bowl, combine butter and sugar and whisk until mixed and smooth looking. Next whisk in eggs, almond extract and yogurt. Add in the soda, salt and flour and gently blend together. Carefully fold in blueberries and spread batter in prepared pan. Bake for 25 minutes or until toothpick comes clean and top is golden brown. Serve either hot or room temperature! And enjoying washing only one bowl!!

Note: this recipe is very adaptable!! Try omitting the blueberries and using other fruit and in some nuts.
