I have made this easy recipe several times for guests and everybody has always loved it

If using frozen berries baking time needs to be at least 55 minutes. I made this for a church coffee and several asked for recipe. I would probably not use blackberries as part of fruit again as seeds were larger.

I made this cake using freshly frozen blackberries. The flavor was good but the blackberry seeds were a bother. Next time I'll use a different berry.

I made this cake and it was delious. But I used fresh berries instead of

the frozen and was delighted with the results. Everyone raved about it. I also used vanilla yogurt instead of plain.

I made this cake and thought it was just OK. It tasted good enough but the texture of the cake was not to my liking. I probably would not make it again.

I was right to question the frozen berries---after 1 hour of cooking, the center was still soup. I followed the directions precisely. The moisture from frozen fruit is not appropriate for this recipe. I would suggest fresh fruit, or thaw and drain.

Why would you want to use a mix when homemade is so much better!
