This simple and easy to make Berry Cake is buttery, oh-so-delicate and loaded with all the bright flavors of the berries. Plus it is easy to make!

Ingredients

  • 1 stick melted butter (113 grams)
  • 3/4 cup sugar (plus 1/2 tablespoon extra)
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 ¼ cup mixed berries (blueberry and raspberries)

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 F. Brush an 8-inch square baking dish with melted butter. In a bowl, whisk together flour, salt and baking powder. Set this aside.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, beat together melted butter and 3/4 cup sugar using a hand whisk. Then beat in the egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Beat just until the ingredients are combined.

  3. 3

    Add the flour mixture and using a spatula or a whisk, incorporate the ingredients gently. Fold in half of the berries to the batter gently, then pour it into the prepared baking dish.

  4. 4

    Top the batter with the remaining berries, placing them in a single layer over the cake. Sprinkle the reserved sugar all over the top. Bake the berry cake at 350 F for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick tester comes out clean.

  5. 5

    Serve the cake warm, topped with ice cream if desired. To store leftovers, cover the cake and place it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
