Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 1/2 cups white sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup applesauce

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

2 tablespoons brown sugar

2/3 cup 1% milk

2 cups blackberries, washed

Yield:

15 servings

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9-by-13- inch baking pan. In a large bowl, combine flours, sugar, baking powder and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut margarine and applesauce into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the cinnamon and brown sugar. Set aside 3/4 cup of crumb mixture to be used as a topping for the cake. In a medium bowl, mix together eggs, vanilla and milk. Blend into remaining flour mixture. Spread batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle blackberries evenly over the batter. Gently press blackberries into the batter. Sprinkle reserved crumb mixture over fruit and gently pat down. Bake in preheated oven 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
