Can I use other types of berries in this recipe?

Yes. Any combination of berries works beautifully. Blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, and sliced strawberries are all excellent choices individually or in combination. If using strawberries or blackberries which are larger than blueberries and raspberries, chop them into smaller pieces of approximately half an inch before folding into the batter and placing on top to ensure even distribution and consistent baking.

Can I bake this in a springform pan for a more elegant presentation?

Yes. An 8-inch or 9-inch springform pan works perfectly for this recipe. Grease the base and sides with melted butter. The springform release allows the cake to be presented on a platter rather than served directly from the baking dish. Baking time remains the same.

Can I make this berry cake the night before?

The cake bakes and stores well overnight covered and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before serving or warm individual portions briefly in the microwave. The berry juices will have soaked further into the crumb overnight which many people find even more flavorful and moist than the freshly baked version.
