THANKSGIVING BLUEBERRY/CRANBERRY COFFEE CAKE...... Turn oven on to 350 degrees
COMBINE: in a a bowl:
2 cups flour
½ cup sugar
3 tsp baking
powder
Pinch salt
BEAT till frothy :
2 eggs
If you have a 9 inch tube pan, grease it and get ready for the batter. If you don't have a tube pan you can use a 9x13 pan,but it's not quite the same.
These should be beaten till lemon coloured, and fairly thick. As if you were making a sponge.

Pile into veggie sprayed 9 inch tube pan. Smooth the batter on top.

at 350 for about 50 minutes or so. I found I had to add a few minutes.
Test with sharp knife to make sure the
coffee cake is done.

This coffee cake freezes very well. It's easy to make. Has few ingredients. Travels well. And shares well.
