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!

Notes

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