Strawberry Coffee Cake THB



Another month with The Home Bakers (THB) and we have made strawberry coffee cake.  With the fruit in season, this was a pleasure to make.  The cake has cream cheese in it which always makes a cake better.  The strawberries filled the cake with goodness,  This one was a success for us.

Strawberry Coffee Cake  selected by Alice  (gluten-free)

 8 ounces cream cheese
3/4 cup oil
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup milk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups gluten-free flour mixture
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Method:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In the mixer bowl, combine cream cheese, butter and sugar and beat until light and fluffy.

Stir in milk, eggs and vanilla and beat thoroughly.

In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.  Stir to blend.

Add dry ingredients to cheese mixture and beat until smooth

Spread half of the batter in the pan.  Cover with the strawberries and then the other half of the batter.

Top with mixture of brown sugar and nuts.

Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until the cake is golden brown and clean when a toothpick or sharp knife comes out dry.

    I don't think I've ever had Strawberry Coffee Cake, Chaya. It sure sounds intriguing especially with that cream cheese!!! I sure wish you were giving out taste testings, just to be sure of course, lol...

    Thank you so much for sharing...

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi...

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I ...
