FEATHERWEIGHT BREAKFAST CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease 8X8 square pan.
• Melt butter and cool slightly and add milk and beaten egg, set to the side.
• In bowl, sift the next four (4) ingredients, 2 times. Add butter, milk, and egg mixture and stir only enough to smooth out any lumps.
• Combine the remaining sugar and cinnamon for the topping, in a small bowl or in a ziploc bag.
• Pour batter into greased pan and sprinkle the mixture of sugar and cinnamon over the top and bake 12 to 15 minutes.

BUTTERMILK-BLUEBERRY BREAKFAST CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter with lemon zest and sugar (minus 1 tablespoon) until light and fluffy.
• Add the egg and vanilla and beat until combined. Meanwhile, toss the blueberries with 1/4 cup of flour, then whisk together the remaining flour, baking powder and salt.
• Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture a little at a time, alternating with the buttermilk; fold in the blueberries.
• Grease a 9-inch square aluminum baking pan with butter or coat with non-stick spray. Spread batter into pan. Sprinkle batter with remaining tablespoon of sugar. Bake for 35-45 minutes. Check with a toothpick, checking for doneness. Let cool at least 15 minutes before serving.

APRICOT BREAKFAST CAKE

Steps:

• Brew one cup of tea and pour in small bowl over chopped apricot pieces; stir in ground coriander; allow to soak and plump for one hour; strain apricots of liquid (there will be what appears to be sediment in the liquid - not to worry, it is the coriander and we want it!), reserving liquid; there should be about ½ cup of apricot tea, if it is less, add enough water to make it equal ½ cup
• Preheat oven to 350F and butter and flour a bundt pan (I used a silicone pan - no need to butter and flour and cake slipped right out after cooling for about 25 minutes)
• Beat butter together with sugar until creamy and fluffy, about 5-6 minutes; add baking powder, extracts, milk powder and zests; alternate additions of flour with apricot tea and eggs; finally, dredge apricot pieces and golden raisins in a little flour and mix them into the batter
• Spoon batter into prepared bundt pan; bake for 50-60 minutes in preheated oven, or until a sharp knife inserted into highest part of cake comes out clean (I covered my cake loosely with a piece of aluminum foil after 30 minutes); remove from oven, cool approximately 20 minutes and turn out onto serving platter; allow to cool completely and dust with icing sugar
• Note: This cake (like most cakes incorporating dried fruit) is even better after a couple of days

Pour the batter into the buttered loaf pan and transfer to the center rack of the oven.
• Bake for 60 to 65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a rack to cool.
