Berry Buckle – Skinnytaste

This mixed berry buckle, a rustic cake with juicy, seasonal blueberries, raspberries and blackberries, is the perfect summer dessert.

Berry buckle

If you are not familiar with a buckle, it is an old -fashioned dessert that gets the name “buckle” of the way the dough breaks or breaks around the fruits while baking. It is a cross between a cake and a fruit shoemaker and it is delicious. During the baking, the berries release their juices and form pockets with damp, fruity quality, which add a natural sweetness and sharpness that complement the cake. I played around with this berry buckle recipe several times to keep it easy and delicious, and I’m so satisfied with the results!

Why this recipe for berry buckles works

I used less butter than most buckles and exchanged most of it for apple sauce. Buttermilk also keeps it moist, and the use of fresh berries in the season keeps the cake sweet enough without adding too much sugar. For an additional layer of texture and taste, a crowy streak is often added, but I have left it out to keep it easy.

• A good way to use seasonal fruits
• Light -rich, slightly sweetened creating this recipe
• Weight Watcher friendly
• Delicious served warm from the oven
