I made cake from a white cake box mix last week, using instructions I found on a website. 6 oz. vanilla yogurt and the rind of one orange later, I got rave reviews. There was a sale on blackberries last week so we loaded up and I decided to look for a recipe using orange rind and blueberries. Here is where I found one that I will definitely make again: Blackberry Orange Muffins - from Eat Live Run
Blackberry Orange Muffins
adapted from Martha Stewart
makes 12 muffins
2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp grated orange zest
2 cups fresh blackberries (or berry of your choice..use frozen if you can’t find fresh!)
1 stick butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
Preheat your oven to 375.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, orange zest, baking powder, salt
and cinnamon together. Gently add the blackberries and stir so that the
berries are covered with flour. Set aside.
Cream the butter and sugar together. Add the eggs, one by one, until thoroughly combined. Add the milk and blend.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and toss gently,
being careful not to crush the berries. Scoop batter into 12 greased
muffin tins sprinkle vanilla sugar (or regular granulated sugar) over the tops.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until the tops are golden. Let cool for five minutes in the tins then pop out and cool completely.
I again forgot to take pics, but will make again and try to remember then. I hope to make an Apple Blackberry Crisp today as well. Yummm!
