Berry Upside-Down Cake

This dessert is actually more like a fruit cobbler than a cake, but my family has called it “berry upside-down cake” since I was a little girl. But no matter what you want to call it, this berry-filled dessert is one of my family's all-time favorites!

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter softened
2 cups sugar divided
1 cup milk
2 cups flour
4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
15 oz can berries (of your choice) in light syrup

Instructions

Use an electric mixer or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter and 1 cup of sugar. Add the milk and stir until smooth. Then add the flour, baking powder, and salt, and stir until combined.
Pour the batter into the bottom of a 9x11" baking dish, and spread it out to form an even layer.
Pour the berries (including any liquid) over the top of the batter layer.
Finally, sprinkle the remaining cup of sugar over the top of the berries. Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes.
Allow the cake to cool for 15-30 minutes to help it set up, then serve with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream (or my personal favorite, a splash of half and half!)
