Butter Cake with Boozy Berries

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!
