Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. For the bottom layer, beat the ingredients together using a mixer. It will be like a thick cake batter.

Step 2

Spray the pan lightly with PAM then pour the batter into an 8 or 9-inch pan. Using a spatula spread the batter to the edges of the pan.

Step 3

For the top layer, place the blackberries on top of the batter in a single layer, covering the batter with the blackberries.

Step 4

Sprinkle the sugar over the blackberries.

Step 5

Then pour 1 cup cold tap water on top.

Step 6

Place on cookie sheet (sometimes it bubbles over) and place on center rack in oven.

Step 7

Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour; until the top is brown and the center doesn't jiggle. Cool before serving.

Step 8

Serve with vanilla ice cream and/or whipped topping.

Step 9

This same recipe may be used with apples, apricots, or canned peaches. If these fruits are used, place them on the bottom of a greased pan, batter on top, then sugar and water over all.

Step 10

You may substitute boysenberries, huckleberries, or blueberries for the blackberries.
