Here's a super simple recipe to help you enjoy serviceberries, or to use up your excess foraged serviceberries! 😉

Ingredients:

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 cup unsalted softened butter
¾ cup maple sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large Navel orange (for zest and juice)

¼ cup powdered sugar

Cake Preparation:

• Using an electric stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the butter and maple sugar until smooth and fully combined
• Add the eggs and beat until light and fluffy
• Add the dry ingredients
• Gently fold in the serviceberries and orange juice
• Mix thoroughly and pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan
• Bake for approximately 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean

For the Glaze:

Serve once cooled with a dollop of maple syrup-sweetened whipped cream! 😉
