Ingredients

2 cups fresh mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)

1 cup granulated sugar (plus extra for topping)

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

2 large eggs

1/2 cup whole milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round or square cake pan.

In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

In a separate large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.

Alternately add dry ingredients and milk, mixing until just combined.

Gently fold in most of the berries.

Pour batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly. Scatter remaining berries on top and sprinkle with extra sugar.

Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

Let cool slightly before serving warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Swap berries for sliced peaches, plums, or nectarines.

For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or lemon zest to the batter.

Frozen berries can be used; do not thaw—toss them in flour before adding.
