A light and tasty cake with the fresh berries is a perfect combination. I made it with the raspberries, but think I’m going to try with the large bounty of blueberries I have soon. The hint of cinnamon is just splendid too. The original recipe called for 3 T of cream but I found I needed 6 to get a glaze that would spread over the entire cake.
