Saskatoon Berry Platz
I remember my mom making this cake for my dad during harvest season - his favourite was with rhubarb. You can mix the saskatoons and rhubarb together (both are in season at the same time) and that would give you a nice sweet/sour combination. This cake gets better by the day, but probably won't last very long.

1 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup butter or marg
Combine until crumbly.
Add:
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
Spread into greased 9x12 pan.
Top with fresh saskatoon berries or any other fresh or frozen fruit of your choice (rhubarb is also a classic).
For the topping:
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup butter or marg, melted
1 1/2 cups sugar
Combine to make crumbs and sprinkle over the fruit.
