Berry Vanilla Breakfast Cake
"My friend emailed this recipe to me as a quick, easy, no eggs/no milk dessert. It doesn't have to be for breakfast at all. The original recipe called for Cherry filling, but I prefer to use Blackberry filling. I changed the name to "Berry" because you could use any you wish. Enjoy!"

This was a great snack cake, and so easy to prepare, too. I used blueberry pie filling, but any flavor of pie filling would work well here. I look forward to experimenting with other pie fillings. My photo isn't that great I know, but the crumb topping didn't crack until well after it had cooled. So it looked scrumptious for the longest time (and I assure you, it is scrumptious). Thanks for sharing your recipe Adria82. Made for the Spring 2014 Pick-A-Chef event. -
Delicious breakfast treat!!! Would be wonderful to serve a group for brunch. I scaled the recipe to 1/2 of the amounts, as it was just the 3 of us. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe. Made for Pick A Chef Event. -
Yummy. Instead of using the canned pie filling, I used fresh or frozen berries and cooked them down adding a tiny bit of sugar. First time I made it three of us finished it off before we knew what was happening. -
Super breakfast or dessert cake! I halved the recipe to fit an 8 by 8 glass pan. I used homemade blueberry pie filling. I also used 1/2 whole wheat flour, and less sugar overall, some of which was splenda. I used butter instead of margarine. We served this with homemade whipped cream, and both of my daughters have requested that I make this for their upcoming turns to take a treat to school. Made for Fall 08 PAC. thanks for posting.
