Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen berries for the best flavor and texture.
  • If using frozen berries, thaw them slightly before using.
  • Gently toss the berries in a little bit of flour or cornstarch before adding them to the cake batter. This will help prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake.
  • Be careful not to overmix the cake batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that the cake rises evenly.
  • Check the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. The toothpick should come out clean when the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool for a few minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate.
  • Serve the cake warm or at room temperature with whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh berries.
