Recipe Tip
Berrylicious
Berries are fiber giants. Just 1 cup of blackberries or raspberries gives you a whopping 8 grams of fiber, one-third of your daily fiber needs.

Success!
My 12 yr old son, who hates all things whole wheat, actually LOVES this cake. It is a great breakfast treat. I also served it at several functions and it got rave reviews.
