How gorgeous is this Berry Cake?!
I love that you can make it ANY way you want, with any berries that you like. It is visually gorgous and equally as tasty!
The cake’s base is cornmeal and with the addition of buttermilk, it makes for a deliciously simple recipe. The cake is not too sweet or heavy and is the perfect dessert for a big gathering!
After mixing up the ingredients, you get this beautiful pale yellow batter to spread into the pan to bake.
I like to place parchment paper under it so that it’s easy to lift up when it’s finished baking.
Add in all the berries you like and you are ready to bake!
Ahhhh, those colors 🙂
The finished product!
