We made this homey dessert with yellow cornmeal, which produces a rich, golden color, but you could use white cornmeal instead.

Loved this quick to fix cake. Light and buttery, full of fresh berries, and with a delightful crunch from added sugar on top. Bakes in a cast iron skillet. Can use blueberries as well. From marthastewart.com. I used about 2 cups blackberries.
