Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan.

  2. Step 2

    In a bowl, mix 1.5 cups flour, 0.75 cup sugar, and 1.5 tsp baking powder. Cut in 0.5 cup butter until crumbly.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in 0.5 cup milk until just combined. Spread batter into the prepared pan.

  4. Step 4

    Scatter 1 cup mixed berries over the top. Bake until golden and a toothpick comes out clean, about 25-30 minutes.

    Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
