Servings 1 sheet

Ingredients
  

  • 3⅓ cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1½ cups sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1¾ cups buttermilk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4½ cups berries (raspberries, blueberries, blackberries)
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and set it to convection mode. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Wash the berries, pat them dry, and dust with two tablespoons of flour. Set aside ⅔ cup of berries for topping the cake later.
  • In a bowl, mix the remaining flour, eggs, buttermilk, vanilla extract, and one cup of sugar until a smooth batter forms. Make sure to add the baking powder last.
  • Pour the batter evenly onto the baking sheet, then scatter the majority of the berries on top. Evenly coat the remaining sugar over everything.
  • Bake the cake for 20 minutes. Shortly before the end of the baking time, do a toothpick test. If it doesn't come out clean, continue baking for another 5 minutes.
  • Once baked, let the cake cool. Then top with the reserved berries and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Notes

  • Instead of a baking sheet, you can also use a large casserole dish to bake the cake. Just make sure it is well-greased beforehand. Keep in mind that the cake may need longer to bake.
  • Instead of fresh berries, you can also opt for frozen berries. Let them thaw and drain well before using.
