Comments

If any of the berries are out of season, it’s okay to use frozen ones.
Try scattering the berries on the bottom of the pan before you start baking, instead of mixing them into the cake batter; that way when you invert the cake pan, the juices will act like a glaze. Add a teaspoon of cocoa to the cake's dry ingredients for a nice chocolate touch, or use cocoa chili powder for a kiss of spiciness to the subtlety of chocolate.
 
Serve warm with a scoop of your favorite ice cream or slightly sweetened whipped cream. Top your cake with a nice Cream Cheese frosting or a deliciously sweet Vanilla glaze. If you prefer cupcakes, simply line muffin tins with muffin cup liners to make them. Your friends and family will appreciate the easy snack when they’re on the go. 
 
Since Pastry flour can be a challenge to find in grocery stores, the best bet is to make your own by sifting Cake flour and All Purpose flour together in a ratio that is somewhere between 2 parts Cake flour to 1 part All Purpose flour. Another good mix is 1 part Cake flour to 1 part All Purpose flour.
 
So go ahead, enjoy taking charge and create your own version of this recipe!
