This cake starts with a simple and clever base: whole cookies on the bottom, fresh berries, and a soft batter without butter that envelops everything during baking. The result is a genuine, fragrant, and light dessert, where the contrast between the softness of the batter and the tartness of raspberries and blueberries makes every slice very tempting.
At home, both my son and I have a real passion for berries, and if you like, you can enrich the cake by adding blackberries or currants, choosing what you have available or what you prefer.
This dessert is very easy, homemade, very quick to prepare, and butter-free, perfect for breakfast, a snack, or when you crave a simple but well-made cake.
Served as is, it’s perfect, but if you want, you can accompany it with a dollop of whipped cream or some custard: a little extra indulgence that turns it into a truly special treat!
