Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9-inch round baking pan (with at least 2-inch high sides) with non-stick baking spray (or oil the pan) and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium-size bowl, whisk together the melted butter, oil, buttermilk, eggs, vanilla and sugar until well combined.
  3. Sprinkle the baking powder, baking soda and salt over the top of the batter and stir to combine.
  4. Add the flour and stir just until all of the flour is incorporated. (Some small lumps are fine.)
  5. Toss berries on a plate with the remaining 1 teaspoon flour. Fold into batter and transfer to the prepared baking dish.
  6. Combine the cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle evenly over the top.
  7. Place the cake on a sheet pan and bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, 33 to 40 minutes (the internal temperature should be 205-210˚F). Sprinkle with 1-2 teaspoons more sugar.
  8. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes then invert onto a plate and invert again onto a cooling rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
  9. Cake will keep, loosely wrapped at room temperature, for about 2-3 days.
