    This was so easy to make and delicious! I took it to a friend's house and it was a hit. I think I would add a lot more rasberries next time. It makes it very moist. I would highly recomment this recipie.

    This was easy to make and it wasn't too overly sweet-it was just right. It was so delicious I ate almost half the pan!!!

    Very easy, very tasty and included many ingredients we already had. I added blueberries to the raspberries, skipped the whipped cream and served it warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. I made another one for a friend who just had a baby and they loved it too. This recipe is simple, delicious and a big hit!

    Okay, the annoying little box over the ingredient list that doesn't go away is very annoying. If I was thinking of getting the magazine, or looking at Martha University or doing whatever else will pop up next, I'm not now. I'm a big fan of just about all you do, but this I HATE.

    It is berry season here in Canada and we have harvested Blueberries, Rasperries this past month and are in the throes of Blackberries right now. This is THE recipe for all or combinations of these berries. I have made it in double batches with 1, 2 or 3 types of berries 5 times in the past 3 weeks! Tonight again I made this delicious berry-laced dessert, two single pans, one to give as a gift. Thanks for this easy recipe, it has been a winner each time I have served it!

    I served this recently for a group of wonderful, dessert loving friends. I made a few changes by adding a handful of semisweet chocolate chips on the top of the batter along with the raspberries before baking. Once cooled, I scooped the raspberry buckle into martini glasses, topped each one with whipping cream and a quick drizzle of chocolate sauce. I finished it off with one last beautiful raspberry on the top. It was a huge hit.

    My family loved this dessert. I also made it with blueberries. It has just the right amount of sweetness. Perfect for outdoor entertaining as well.

    Wonderful and delicious! I made a double recipe and used a 4qt oval dish and topped the buckle with fresh blackberries for a Father's Day Barbeque. A very simple and easy recipe that was moist and not overly sweet. I served it with whipped cream and It received rave reviews! I will definitely be making this again with different fruit combinations!

    This was a HUGE hit! I could not find enough Raspberries at the store so I used one pint of Blackberries and one Raspberry. It was beautiful and a huge hit with our crowd. I would highly recommend it. Light and fluffy perfect summer dessert.

    This is delicious. Made it with fresh blackberries instead, also added a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter. It was so moist and delicious, not too sweet, and lovely served with a dollop of whipped cream while still warm . Quickest prep ever!! Hard part was waiting the 20 minutes to cool before cutting.
