Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees; lightly coat a 13 X 4 baking dish with nonstick spray.
- In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt together and set aside.
- In another medium bowl, use a stand mixer, or handheld electric mixer to cream butter and sugar; mix until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla nd mix until combined.
- Alternately add flour and milk to butter mixture, and blend until fluffy. Stir in berries and set aside.
- To make the topping, mix butter, sugar, cinnamon, flour, and salt together using a large fork or pastry blender. Mix until crumbly.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and top with sugar topping. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until top turns golden brown and a tester inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- While cake is baking, prepare syrup. Boil berries with sugar and water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir as berries begin to soften, and liquid becomes a thick syrup. When finished, pour into a jar through a strainer to remove any unwated seeds and berry skins.
- Drizzle syrup over cake before serving.
