  • Top with berries, reserving ¼ cup and sugar topping mixture, reserving 2 tablespoons. Top with ½ tablespoon of non-dairy butter, cut into small pieces. Place in the oven on the center rack.
  • After baking for 25 minutes remove from the oven and add the remaining berries to the cake and top with the remaining sugar topping. Return to the oven and continue baking for 10-20 minutes more, for a total of 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean and the edges are very golden brown. Let cool for 15 minutes in the pan before removing the parchment and sliding onto a cake plate to serve. Serve warm or cool.
