With Fall just around the corner, now is the time to quickly get in those last minute desserts that utilize the fruits of the summer. A great one to do just that is this sweet Upside Down Berry Cake from Taste of Home. My mother made it as dessert after a ham dinner last week and it was the perfect finish to the meal. Light but full of flavor, this dessert tastes fabulous served with ice cream or with a dollop of whipped cream.
Ingredients
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries, halved
1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
3/4 cup sugar
