Delicious and Simple Berry Cake

One of the saddest things about being 6 months behind in my blog posts is that I now regularly torture myself when I edit pictures of beautiful summer fruits and vegetables.  This post is probably the worst to date because it involves perfectly ripe and seasonal Maine blueberries.  These blueberries were the centerpiece of a lovely Late Berry Summer Torte recipe I made from King Arthur Flour.

This torte is definitely one of those prepare-while-the-oven-is-heating recipes, which makes it perfect for a weeknight or impromptu summer gathering.  

You simply cream together the sugar, butter, and eggs before adding in the flour.

Then spread the batter in the pan, top with the berries, sprinkle with a cinnamon-sugar mix, and into the oven the torte goes for 35 – 40 minutes.  I may have slightly overbaked the cake because the center was a bit hard for me to tell if it was cooked, but it was still a great result.  This will be an annual staple in my home!
