  • In a bowl, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup butter. Slowly beat with a mixer to blend, then beat on high speed until well mixed, about 3 minutes.

  • Add 1 cup flour, baking powder, and eggs. Stir to combine, then beat on high speed until the stiff batter is well blended, about 2 minutes.

  • Scrape batter into cake pan and spread top smooth.

  • Scatter berries evenly over batter. Sprinkle fruit with 1 tablespoon granulated sugar.

  • Bake on the center rack of a 350° oven just until cake begins to pull from pan rim, 55 to 60 minutes. Run a thin-bladed knife between cake and pan rim. Let cool at least 10 minutes or, if making ahead, wrap cake airtight when cool and let stand at room temperature up to 1 day.

  • Remove pan rim, dust cake with powdered sugar, and cut into wedges.

Chef's Notes

Use any juicy berry (except strawberries) or pitted cherries. Or cover the surface of the batter with a layer of fruit slices - plum, apricot, nectarine, peach, apple, or pear.
