Ingredients
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup sour cream
- ⅓ cup melted unsalted butter

Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Heavily spray a 9 inch pie plate with nonstick spray.

- Then, add in egg and vanilla. Mix to combine.
- Add in flour, baking powder, baking soda and sea salt. Stir to combine. Batter will be slightly thick.
- Very gently fold in 1 ½ cups of the fresh berries. Try not to crush berries.
- Transfer batter to the sprayed pie plate. Sprinkle the remaining berries and 1 tablespoon of sugar on top.

Cup of Yum
Notes
- Both regular all purpose flour and gluten free 1 to 1 flour can be used. For these photos, I used gluten free flour.
- The cake batter will be pretty thick.
- Try to not crush the berries. Crushed berries will add streaks to the cake. This will still taste great but may look funky!
- To test doneness, insert toothpick into cake. If it comes out with only some moist crumbs, remove from oven.
- Allow cake to cool before slicing.
- Store covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Freeze for up to 1 month if needed.
