Black and Blue Buckle

Usually I share baked goods that I make, except when I make something that's amazing for breakfast. I substituted raspberries for blackberries which I highly recommend. I think almost any combination of these would work well! Don't shorten the whipping time of the butter, it makes the batter super light and fluffy.
