I made this for my sis-in laws b’day. A first timer, it turned out better than expected and I totally loved the colorful fruits that complemented the simplicity of the butter cake underneath. What can I say, I am all for basic no-fuss desserts.

Instructions

1. Pre-heat the oven to 350 F (180 degree C).
2. Mix the flour, baking powder and salt together in a bowl.
3. In another bowl, beat the butter and sugar until the sugar has melted and the mixture turns fluffy.
4. Mix in the egg, milk and vanilla until just combined. Don’t worry if it turns lumpy- it will get smooth once you add in the flour.
5. Add the flour mixture slowly, a spoon at a time, and fold till all the ingredients are just combined and the batter is smooth.
6. Pour the mixture into a greased cake pan, and top with the strawberries & blueberries.
7. Sprinkle some sugar and cinnamon (if using) on the fruits and bake for 10 minutes at 350 F.
8. Reduce the temperature to 325F and bake for another 50-55 minutes, or till the edges are brown and a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean,
9. Cool & cut into wedges.
