Wild Blackberry Upsidedown Cake image

We like to pick blackberries as soon as they come in season. We go out to the river where they grow wild and make a day of blackberry picking, fishing and a picnic..everyone has fun! I make this in a deep cast iron frying pan which makes it easy to turn over because of the handle.
