05-20 Bursting with Berries Cake

I was trying to wait for berry season to post this but it still is so good with frozen berries!
It is my very favorite cake, EVER!
From a book called get-togethers with Gooseberry Patch.

Combine in large bowl:
5 eggs
1 2/3 c sugar
set aside.
Beat until fluffy:
1 1/4 c unsalted butter, diced and softened
2 T blackberry syrup or berry jelly
Add to egg mixture. Then add:
1 t baking powder
1/8 t salt
2 1/2 c flour, save 2 Tablespoons
Beat until well blended and there are no lumps.
set aside
Toss together:
3 c berries: raspberries, blackberries, blueberries
(if using frozen, be sure they are thawed)
2 T flour saved from above
Gently fold berries into batter
Pour into greased and floured bundt pan
Bake at 325 for about one hour
let cool 20 minutes
Sprinkle top with powdered sugar and set a few fresh berries to the side

Nicola's Fisk

 Cousins in Sweden served a fish meal that B really liked!  [That is a huge compliment as it's not her favorite protein.]  Nic makes it without a recipe so this is a general guide.  Layer a casserole with a bed of zucchini slices and add a layer cod pieces . Mix chopped flat leaf parsley (handful), softened butter (abt. 2 T), horseradish sauce (abt. 1 T) with a brick (8 oz) of cream cheese.  {It is easier if the ingredients are room temperature} Cover fish with sauce and bake for about 25 minutes at about 325-350 degrees [Swedish measurements are not equivalent]  Thin sauce with milk if needed. Serve with new baby potatoes baked in butter and dill and salt.

01-25 Dad's Quick Italian Meatballs

Mix 1 lb lean ground beef 2 eggs 1 c Italian bread crumbs 1/2 c spaghetti sauce (more or less, see how it looks) The longer you mix/beat them, the more tender they will be Form meatballs and bake at 350F about 12 minutes Use in meal immediately or freeze for later Put in spaghetti or any pasta will work. Meatball sandwiches would be good too!
