Ingredients

For the cake:

  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup shortening
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries - fresh or frozen)
  • Additional shortening and flour for preparing the pan

For the topping:

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup butter

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a mixing bowl, cream together sugar and shortening until light and fluffy. Add the egg and mix until smooth. Then add the milk and blend well.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Gently fold in the berries.
  • Grease and flour a 9x9 or 8x10-inch pan. Spread the berry batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  • For the topping, combine sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles crumbs. Sprinkle the topping over the batter.
  • Bake at 375°F for 35-40 minutes (for an 8x10 pan) or 45-50 minutes (for a 9x9 pan), or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Serve warm or cold, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

  • Fruit Variations: You can swap the mixed berries with other fruits like blackberries, peaches, or apples based on what’s in season.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
  • Reheating: Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes, or microwave individual servings for 20-30 seconds.
