Cliff's Berry Surprise

Serve this with whipped cream or Vanilla Ice Cream.

• 2 cups sugar
• 1/3 cup butter
• 2 cups all purpose flour, sifted
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 2 cups fresh or frozen blackberries (or raspberries)
• 2 cups boiling water

METHOD

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Cream butter with 1 cup sugar.

Add flour, baking powder, salt and milk. Mix well.

Pour batter into a 3 quart baking dish or pan.

Sprinkle berries over top, distributing evenly. Sprinkle remaining cup of sugar over all.

Slowly pour boiling water on top of this. DO NOT MIX OR STIR.

Carefully place on center rack of preheated 350°F. oven and bake until the top is golden brown, about 50 minutes.
