Nothing brings me more joy than to bake for my family and friends. It is a sign of my love.

This recipe is pretty simple and they don't take long to make. These are perfect for when you need to make something fast.

Cherry Cobbler Cake

I love cherry cobbler. I love cake. What could be more lovable than a cherry cobbler cake? This is perfect for fourth of July festivities that are approaching (because what is more American than cherry cobbler). This cake is similar to a cobbler, but is fluffier like cake. It is both sweet and tart, my favorite combination. Baked to golden brown perfection, this recipe is a must try.

Cherry Cobbler Cake:
1/2 cup of butter
1 cup of all purpose flour
1 cup of sugar
1 tsp of baking powder
1 cup of milk
2 1/4 cups of pitted sour cherries
3/4 cup of sugar
1 tbs of all purpose flour
Preheat the oven to 350. Then, pit the cherries.

 Melt the butter in the microwave and pour it into a 9X13 pan.

Then, mix together the cup of  flour, the cup of sugar, and baking powder in a bowl.

Then, add the milk and mix well. 

Then, pour the milk mixture over the butter and mix with a knife. 

Then, in another bowl, mix the 3/4 cup of sugar and the tbs of flour with the pitted cherries. 

Then, pour the cherries on top of the butter and milk mixture and mix with a knife. 

Bake for about 50 minutes or until golden brown. 

Enjoy! :)

I have posted different types of banana breads on this blog and they are all yummy and moist. Those recipes though were different types of banana bread with fruit or using healthier ingredients as substitutes. This recipe is banana bread in it's purest form. This is just plan old delicious banana bread. This bread is moist and sweet and simple to make. This is perfect for a brunch or an anytime treat.

2 eggs, beaten 

4 ripe bananas 

1 1/2 cups of all purpose flour 

1 tsp of baking soda 

1/2 tsp of salt

Then, with a fork crush the bananas finely. 

Then, add the bananas and the beaten eggs to the sugar mixture and beat until combined.

Then, in a separate bowl mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt until combined.

Then, add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until combine.

Then, add the vanilla extract and mix until combine. 

Then, pour the mixture into the bread pan.
