berry buttermilk cake


i made this with a mix of blackberries, raspberries, blueberries and strawberries. however it will be just as yummy with any berry on its own, fresh or frozen. the 2 cakes i made were gone in a couple of days so it was a success ;)the recipe is for 2 9-inch cakes.

ingredients:
2 cups pastry flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick softened sweet cream butter
1 plus 1/3 cup cane sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk, well-shaken
2 cups mixed berries
first, preheat the oven to 400F. line 2 9-inch round pans with parchment paper, spray the sides with nonstick spray.
in a large bowl beat butter with 3/4 cup of the sugar until light and fluffy. add vanilla and eggs and continue beating. mix in flour until just combined. spoon the mixture onto the pans, sprinkle evenly with the berries and the remaining sugar on top. bake the cakes until they're golden and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted (20-25min) it's deliciousss ;)
