SASKATOON CRANBERRY LOAF

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, and baking soda together in a small bowl.
• Beat sugar and cream cheese together until smooth; stir in cranberries, saskatoon berries, and eggs until well combined. Stir flour mixture into cream cheese mixture to make a silky batter; pour batter into prepared pan and level the top with a spatula.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Allow to cool in the pan 10 minutes; run a knife around edges of the pan to loosen, and invert onto a serving plate to cool completely before slicing.

SASKATOON BERRY CREAM CHEESE CRUMB CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan.
• Whisk brown sugar, 1 1/2 cups flour, oats, and cinnamon together in a bowl; gradually stir in oil until mixture is crumbly. Press 1/2 of the crumb mixture into the prepared pan; set remaining crumbs aside for topping.
• Bake in the preheated oven until firm, about 10 minutes. Remove crust from oven and cool slightly, leaving the oven on.
• Place Saskatoon berries and water in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes; stir in lemon juice. Whisk white sugar and 2 tablespoons flour together in a small bowl; stir sugar mixture into berries and cook until mixture begins to thicken, about 3 minutes. Allow to cool for a few minutes; pour berry filling over crumb crust.
• Sprinkle cream cheese pieces evenly over berry filling. Spread remaining crumb mixture over cream cheese layer and press gently with a potato masher.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crumb topping is golden and filling is bubbly, about 40 minutes.
