I found this recipe in a magazine a long time ago, but modified it over the years. We enjoy its combination of blueberries, raspberries, blackberries and nectarines, particularly when the cake is served warm with low-fat frozen yogurt. —Lisa Darling, Rochester, New York

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons cold butter
  • BATTER:
  • 6 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, divided
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup 2% milk
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 pound nectarines, peeled, sliced and patted dry or 1 package (16 ounces) frozen unsweetened sliced peaches, thawed and patted dry
  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1/2 cup fresh blackberries

Directions

  1. For topping, in a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar and cinnamon; cut in butter until crumbly. Set aside.
  2. For batter, in a large bowl, cream the butter and 3/4 cup sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition. Set aside 3/4 cup batter. Fold blueberries into remaining batter.
  3. Spoon batter with blueberries into a 13x9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Arrange nectarines on top; sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon sugar. Drop reserved batter by teaspoonfuls over nectarines. Sprinkle with raspberries, blackberries and reserved topping.
  4. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve warm.
