How to Make Berry Vanilla Breakfast Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, and ½ cup (1 stick) margarine using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  3. Set aside 1 cup of the dry mixture.
  4. Add 1 cup water, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the remaining batter in the large bowl. Mix well until just combined.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  6. Spoon 1 (15 ounce) can of your favorite berry pie filling evenly over the batter.
  7. In a small bowl, cut ½ cup (1 stick) margarine into the reserved 1 cup of dry mixture using a pastry blender or your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  8. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the pie filling.
  9. Bake for 75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before serving.
