Lightened Down-East Berry Buckle

This new two-berry buckle is less substantial than traditional versions. It’s a deep panful of raspberries and blackberries, topped with a layer of the lightest butter cake, studded with sliced almonds. The cake batter is spooned over the fruit, with the center left uncovered, so that the berries gleam through.

Serve this buckle warm, and try it with different berry combinations. Top it with ice cream or yogurt, and let it run down into the crimson berry juices. This is high summer
