BERRY BUTTERMILK CAKE
Buttermilk makes this stir-together cake super tender, but you can use any milk you have in its place. Same goes for the fruit: Use your favorite frozen berries, or a combination, but frozen cherries, mango or peaches work as well. Just cut any big fruit pieces into bite-size pieces before folding into the batter. And if you do happen to have fresh summer fruit around, that'll work, too.

Steps:
- Make cake:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Line bottom of a buttered 9- by 2-inch round cake pan with a round of wax paper, then butter paper.
- Sift together flour, baking powder and soda, and salt. Beat together butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy, then beat in vanilla. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, then, with mixer at low speed, beat in all of buttermilk until just combined. Add flour mixture in 3 batches, mixing after each addition until just combined.
- Spoon batter into cake pan, smoothing top, and bake in middle of oven until golden and a tester comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool in pan on a rack 10 minutes, then run a thin sharp knife around edge of cake to loosen. Invert onto rack, then slide cake onto a cake plate.
- Make topping:
- Bring wine, 3 tablespoons sugar, and zest to a boil in a small heavy saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Boil until syrup is reduced to about 2/3 cup, 1 to 2 minutes. Discard zest.
- Reserve 2 tablespoons syrup and pour remainder slowly and evenly over cake (cake will absorb syrup).
- Stir together reserved syrup, preserves, and remaining tablespoon sugar in small saucepan and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened slightly, about 1 minute (it should be the consistency of a thick syrup). Put blackberries in a large bowl, then pour preserves mixture over berries. Gently stir berries with a rubber spatula to coat, then pour over cake, mounding blackberries on top.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Mise en place: Before starting, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients and equipment ready. This will help ensure a smooth and efficient baking process.
- Accurate measurements: Use a kitchen scale to accurately measure ingredients, especially flour and sugar. This will help ensure consistent results.
- Room temperature ingredients: Bring all dairy ingredients to room temperature before using. This will help them mix together smoothly and evenly.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Proper oven temperature: Preheat the oven to the correct temperature before baking. This will help ensure even baking.
- Blackberry preparation: If using fresh blackberries, rinse and dry them thoroughly before adding them to the batter.
