Preparation
- Gather all the ingredients you’ll need. Measure everything carefully and ensure your fresh berries are washed and ready to go.

- Transfer the batter into the greased baking dish and spread it evenly.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Once baked, let it cool for about 10 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
