Ingredients
- 1 box cornbread mix prepared according to package directions
- 1 cup raspberries
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 tbsp orange zest
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- Whipped cream for garnish
- Additional berries for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Coat a 9x13-inch baking pan evenly with cooking spray.
- Prepare the cornbread mix according to the package directions, using the required ingredients listed on the box.
- Add the vanilla extract and orange zest to the prepared cornbread batter.
- Stir gently until the vanilla and orange zest are evenly incorporated.
- Spread half of the prepared cornbread batter evenly into the bottom of the greased baking pan.
- Arrange the raspberries and blueberries evenly over the first layer of batter.
- Spoon the remaining cornbread batter over the berries.
- Spread the batter gently to cover the berries as evenly as possible.
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly over the top of the batter.
- Place the baking pan in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 55 minutes to 1 hour and 5 minutes, or until the coffee cake is fully cooked and the center is set.
- Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake to test for doneness. The toothpick should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs, but not wet batter.
- If the top begins to brown before the center is fully cooked, cover the pan loosely with foil and continue baking until done.
- Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a cooling rack.
- Allow the coffee cake to cool for 15 to 20 minutes before slicing.
- Slice into 8 portions.
- Garnish each serving with whipped cream and additional berries, if desired.
