The first time I pulled this from the oven, the smell alone had everyone wandering into the kitchen. Buttery, sweet, and bursting with berries… I’m kicking myself for not having made it sooner! It’s moist, tender, and perfectly balanced — not too sweet, not too dense — just right with a hot cup of coffee or tea.
