Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 9×9 inch square pan with butter and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl sift dry ingredients and set aside. Using handheld mixer, beat softened butter until creamy and light in color. Gradually add the sugar and continue beating until it’s light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time beating well after each addition. Then add buttermilk and vanilla and mix. Batter will look lumpy but no need to worry. Add dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just incorporated.
  3. Pour batter into greased pan and sprinkle the berries on top and lastly, sprinkle the 2 tbs of sugar. Bake for about 20-23 minutes but check cake at 20 minutes because oven temperatures vary. Insert toothpick and if it comes out clean, cake is ready!
  4. For topping: in a cold bowl whip 1 cup of heavy whipping cream plus 1 tbs of sugar and beat until soft peaks. Place a dollop of whipped cream and fresh berries to each serving.
