Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat oven to 325. Lightly coat a 9-in. springform pan with nonstick spray.
2. Topping: Put first 3 ingredients in a small bowl. Cut with pastry blender until mixture resembles small peas. Stir in almonds.
3. Cake: In large bowl with mixer on low speed beat remaining cake mix and next 4 ingredients 1 minutes to blend. On medium speed, beat 2 minutes (mixture is very thick). Fold in berries; spread in prepared pan. Press topping into a ball between hands. Break off small clumps; sprinkle evenly over cake. Press lightly.
4. Bake 1 hour 10 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean (cake settles in center. That's ok.).
5. Cool completely in pan on wire rack. Run a thin knife around edge of pan; remove pan sides. Loosen cake from pan bottom with a wide spatula; slide cake onto serving plate. Dust with confectioners' sugar.
