Blackberry Almond Cake (Fika)
85g butter -- melt and let cool.
Whisk together:
2 eggs
150g sugar
1tsp almond extract

Sift in 140g flour, mix until smooth & creamy.
Pour into 9" pan, scatter 100g-150g blackberries on top and bake at 400*F for 20-30 minutes.
Was *very* sweet. Cut sugar by half next time.
Never Fail Doughnuts (Gma Elaine)
3 eggs, well beaten
1c sugar (100g)
1/2tsp nutmeg
1/2c sour cream (120g)
3/4c* buttermilk (1 1/2T vinegar + 3/4c milk)
3 1/2c flour (525g)
1tsp soda
1tsp powder
1/2tsp salt
Mix in order given. Roll out and cut. Let rest 10 minutes. Fry
*If using doughnut dropper, use 1c buttermilk. (Mom says Gma only ever did drop doughnuts.)
They were too wet to roll, so we added 1/4c sour milk and used the dropper. Yielded 40 doughnuts.
