Berry Buckle

Every year as we move from Spring to Summer I begin to obsess over anything fruit, mixed berries have to be one of my favorite things in life! Although I must say I haven't gotten any fresh yet but the frozen ones work just fine. Growing up my mom always made blueberry buckle as we always had fresh berries and it is so quick and easy ...what a comfort food this is for me. A simple cake topped with berries and strudel plain enough to enjoy with a cup of coffee or dress it up with vanilla ice cream either way you just can't go wrong. So this morning for our Sunday School class I made Mixed Berry Buckle, it was soooo good
