--Light-- Berry Loaf

"If you like berries, and light desserts, then try this. Its a light spring/summer dessert my teacher gave me... I like to freeze the remaining 1 cup of berries and instead of garnishing the loaf with it, I pour some whipping cream on it as a nice side dish."

directions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F, and grease and flour a 9"x11" cake pan. (grease normally, then toss about 3 tablespoons inside and shake around until all sides are floured, then discard the remaining flour.)
  • With an electric mixer beat the cream cheese and half of the sugar together in a large bowl.
  • Mix in the egg whites and lemon peel. Then in a separate bowl add 1 cup of the flour and baking soda and mix well.
  • Add this to the cream cheese mixture alternately with sour cream, making sure to mix well after each addition.
  • Pour the cream cheese mixture into the cake pan. Then toss 2 cups of the berries with left over 1/4 cup sugar and 2 teaspoons of flour on top of the batter.
  • Now bake it for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer comes out clean.
  • Garnish with the remaining cup of berries and dust with icing sugar before serving. You can serve it cold or slightly warm. its a very nice light spring dessert.

  1. A nice low-fat dessert. I used plain yogurt instead of the fat free sour cream. Served it as suggested and then leftovers were served with strawberries and frozen vanilla yogurt.
