Mixed Berry Buckle

A summer berry dessert… that will make your taste buds so happy!

Even though my heart belongs to chocolate and my taste buds too, I do have to say that I love to throw in a fruit dessert here and there. Actually I love to bake with the summer fruits.

When I was looking for a fruit dessert for Sunday dinner I had my heart set on trying a berry tart, but then I saw this recipe for raspberry buckle and the tart seemed to slip my mind. I have seen recipes for buckles, but I don’t believe I have ever made one or even tasted one.

It is a darn right shame that I haven’t tried one of these buckles before this weekend. The buttery soft cake and berries make for one heck of a yummy dessert.

Instead of the raspberries I substituted strawberries and blueberries. I love combining strawberries and blueberries, I think that they complement each other very nicely.

If you have any leftover… if that possibly could happen… this dessert gets just a little moister. I love it with a dollop of sweetened whip cream so simple, but so tasty.

If you haven’t made a fruit buckle before I strongly encourage you to do so, you won’t be sorry.

    I love a good buckle! We often do a blueberry one, but love the idea of mixed berries. Now I need to run out to the grocery store and buy some! Thanks for this.

    This looks delicious with all those berries! A beautiful cake. I usually do blueberry but love the idea of throwing strawberries into the mix. I wonder how it would be with peaches – I have a ton of them right now.
