Then use the back of the spoon to carefully spread the batter over the berries until they are completely covered.
Step 5
Bake for 40 ā 50 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean. If the cake looks like it is browning too much, loosely cover the top of the cake with aluminium foil to prevent burning.
