a week full of storms , crazy storms the weather sure can bring you down and up. but you know what can
bring you up ? this coffee cake yes i boldy and proudly say this . finally when the crazy weather died down
my wish of making a coffee cake for the past few weeks have been fufilled .
you see i guess im lucky because my grandpa has a garden and he has these blackberries i picked them
and was dying on the inside to find a recipe for em so when i came across this one i was satisfied i thought
it seemed delicious yet simple . until i made one of these suckers my mom was in LOVE with this recipe. she
wanted me to write or print it out (and when she askes for that you know its a keeper)
as i bit into this coffee cake it tasted sweet and moist but with just the right amount of tangy in there it kinda gives a sense of nostalgia to them (and theres nothin wrong with that *wink*) every bite was a heavenly one
i did happen to substitute the lemon zest for orange extract before you turn your head in disguist the orange actually gives it an amazing taste and helps towards the softness of the texture so yes i happen to adapt that part . every bite was a heavenly one whether you just want a new coffee cake or blackberry recipe
or a delish food to dig your face in watching your favorite show .
enjoy lovelies !!!!!
blackberry coffee cake with orange extract

Cake
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon orange extract
1 1/2 cups fresh blackberries (my feeling is that blueberries would work also really well)
Topping 1/4 cup (1/2 a stick) butter melted
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
Butter a 9X13 pan. Preheat oven to 350. In a bowl whisk together the flour, the baking powder, and a pinch of salt and in another bowl stir together the sour cream and the baking soda.
In a large bowl cream together the butter and 1 cup of the granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, and beat in the vanilla and lemon zest. Stir in the flour mixture alternately with the sour cream mixture and stir the batter until it is combined well.
Pour the batter into a buttered 9 X 13 cake pan. Sprinkle blackberries evenly on top.
for the topping :
In a small bowl stir together melted butter, flour and sugar until it is sort of dough like and stuck together.
Crumble topping mixture all over cake
Bake the cake in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Transfer it to a rack, and let it cool. Serve warm or room temperature. enjoy because i know i did !!!
(ps : for the glaze i did on top i just mixed confectioners sugar and water together and drizzled on top its completely optional !!)
