Ingredients
THE TOPPING
½ cup sugar
½ cup dark brown sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
⅓ cup chopped toasted pecans
½ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch pieces
THE FILLING
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
½ cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
6 cups assorted berries (like blueberries, raspberries, blackberries and strawberries)
Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. To make the topping, combine the sugars, flour, nutmeg and pecans in a mixing bowl. Rub in the butter until the mixture is crumbly. Set aside in refrigerator until needed.
- Step 2
To make the filling, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg. Sift the flour and baking soda together and add to the butter mixture alternately with the buttermilk. Spread the mixture in the prepared dish and top with the berries. Sprinkle the topping over the berries.
- Step 3
Bake until the batter is set and the top is nicely browned, about 45 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream or lightly sweetened whipped cream, if desired.

I made this lovely, simple recipe during the summer, using all blueberries. It was a great hit and I will certainlyh make it again.
I've been baking - especially with fruit - a lot lately so I was eager to try this. Very disappointed. The cake part underneath (called "the filling") isn't bad, but the topping was painfully sweet for our taste. The full six cups of berries really is needed to actually cut some of that sweetness. I may not have used enough.
