Berry Batter Cake (served at the Stake RS meeting 2/24/2011)

Ingredients:
4 cups berries (blueberries, raspberries, or any combination--fresh or frozen (Costco triple berry blend works great)
juice of a lemon-(about 3-4 Tbsp)

6 Tbsp butter, softened
1 cup sugar

2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

1 cup milk

Topping ingredients:
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 Tbsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. cinnamon

2 cups boiling water

Directions:
Spary 9/13 baking dish (glass if you have it) with cooking spray. Put berries in the bottom of the dish and sprinkle with lemon juice.
In a medium mixing bowl, cream butter and then add sugar and beat until fluffy. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and mix well. Add small amounts of milk and dry ingredients alternately to the butter/sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition. Drop batter by large spoonfuls over the berries and then carefully spread it until berries are covered.
Mix sugar, cornstarch salt, and cinnamon and sprinkle over batter. Pour the boiling water over everything.
