Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This Butter Cake with Boozy Berries is the perfect cake to kick off summer! An oh - so -easy butter cake recipe topped with raspberry liqueur infused berries, is buttery with just enough sweetness, its  the perfect ending to a almost any meal - dinner, brunch or lunch!

This easy butter cake recipe is the ideal  base to showcase the bounty of summer fruit - especially if that fruit is doused with a "little somethin" like raspberry liquer! This butter cake is  also a great way to use up that fruit if you  ahem went overboard on buying  at last weekend's farmers market!

The basic recipe works with almost any fruit - here I have made it with fresh blackberries and raspberries but you can also make it with  apricots, peaches, nectarines, plums or apples. Terrific plain, it's also good with a little whipped cream or ice cream.
The beauty of it is that it can be made pretty much on the spur of the moment - it only requires basic pantry ingredients. Of course, you can "gussy it up" by adding spices, or  adding nuts. Although I usually serve this as a dessert,  I have been told by certain members of my household (who shall remain nameless)  that it also makes a terrific breakfast cake!

Ingredients for Butter Cake:

  • flour
  • sugar
  • eggs
  • baking powder
  • salt

Ingredients for the Raspberry Liqueur Soaked Berries:

  •  raspberries
  •  blackberries or blueberries
  •  Raspberry Liqueur such as Chambord
  • sugar

How to Make this Easy Butter Cake Recipe:

Step 1: Combine the berries, sugar and raspberry liqueur in a bowl..

  • ¾ cup fresh raspberries
  • ¾ cup fresh blackberries
  • ¼ cup raspberry liqueur I used Chambord
  • 2 Tbsp. sugar
  • 1 stick unsalted butter softened
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • ¼ tsp. salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine the berries and port and stir to combine. set aside.  
  • Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl and set aside. 
  • Beat the butter with the ¾ cup sugar until mixture is pale and fluffy.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, beating well after adding each egg. At low speed, slowly add flour mixture and mix just until combined, do not overmix!
  • Grease a 9 inch springform pan. Spread the batter evenly in the bottom of the pan and then, using a slotted spoon, spoon berries on top of cake batter, spreading evenly.
  • Drizzle remaining port on top of berries. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes until cake is nicely browned.
  • Remove from oven and let cool 10 minutes. Using a thin-bladed knife, run a knife around outside of the cake to loosen it and remove cake rim. Slice and serve!

Recipe Notes

If you don't have Chambord you could use creme de cassis or even port! All work nicely in this recipe!
