Brunch for Gurls

Today was a fun day to catch up with friends from a software localization class we took at UW a few years ago.  I've ran into or come across these friends at some point since our class ended and we've been meaning to get together for some time.  So I shared my favorite meal of brunch.  The funny and cool thing is...all of these friends are major foodies!  They love food as much as I do.  

Huckleberry & Lime Coffee Cake

Here is the recipe for Shino...


1 C Sugar
1.5 C Flour

1/2 tsp Baking Soda
2 Eggs
1 C Sour Cream
1 C Huckleberries (fresh or frozen)
1 C Powder Sugar
Zest of 1 Lime
Juice of 1/2 Lime

-Preheat oven to 350

-Butter or spray a 9" cake pan

-Mix the sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda in large bowl.

-In a smaller bowl, whip eggs and sour cream.

-Fold in the egg mixture to the dry flour mixture until well combined

-Pour the mixture into a cake pan and bake for about 35-40 min. Test with a tooth pick in the center until it comes out clean.  Let cake cool completely.

-Combine and mix the lime zest, juice, and the powder sugar.  Set aside and let it dissolve the sugar until all the lumps gone.

-When cake is cooled, spoon and drizzle the lime mixture onto the center of the cake.
