Blackberry Cornmeal Cake

A delicious rustic cake for when berries are in season
This simple cake recipe has been adapted from Everyday Foods. It is a favorite recipe for the summer. The original was baked in a 10" skillet and was larger than I wanted. I have cut the proportions in half and tweaked the measurements to be easy. This makes a more modest cake. I make this in an 8" cast iron pan, but you can use another ovenproof skillet or a regular cake pan if it is 8" or less. If you only have 9" or larger cake pans, you will want to double the recipe. The cake may be a little thinner or taller depending on your pan, and your baking time will probably be different.

Notes

If you do not have Turbinado sugar, just use regular sugar, which is what the original recipe used. I like the Turbinado sugar because the grains are larger and they add a nice crunch. Blueberries and raspberries will work well in this cake also.
