Ingredients

Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking dish

4 cups mixed berries (See Cook's Note) 

1/4 cup sugar 

2 tablespoons cornstarch 

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 

1 teaspoon vanilla extract 

One 15.25-ounce box vanilla cake mix 

8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into cubes 

Vanilla ice cream, for serving 

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Combine the berries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice and vanilla in a medium bowl. Toss to coat the berries. Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish, then spread the cake mix over the top in an even layer. Scatter the butter cubes over the top. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake until the top is puffed and golden and the fruit is bubbling, about 40 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for 5 minutes more.
  3. Let the cake cool slightly before scooping and serving with vanilla ice cream.

Cook’s Note

Any combination of fresh or frozen blueberries, raspberries, blackberries or strawberries will work. Hull and chop strawberries into bite-sized pieces. We used blueberries and strawberries for our cake.

This was so easy and delicious! I used fresh berries and lemon cake mix. The baking took a little longer than it says. I baked it an additional 10 minutes or so covered, then ten uncovered. It paired well with vanilla ice cream but next time I’ll try a berry ice cream. Delicious!
