Blueberry-Raspberry Pudding Cake

Blueberry Raspberry Pudding Cake

If you are looking for a quick and easy dessert that can be made up ahead of time, I highly recommend this berry pudding cake. It is delicious served hot or at room temperature. If you do prepare the pudding ahead of time and want to serve it hot, simply reheat it up in the oven for about 20 minutes before serving. I've used a combination of blueberries and raspberries here, but any combination of berries can be used. One of these days I'm going to make it using fresh cherries.

Muneeba of An Edible Symphony has a wonderful write-up of her version of the recipe using fresh blueberries, blackberries and raspberries from her local farmers' market:

"This recipe is definitely one of my very very favorite desserts, even though it only came into my life a couple of years ago. But every time I make it, people rave about it, and if I'm lucky, I get to enjoy the leftovers for days."
