Cake
Add 1 tablespoon vinegar to milk and set aside.
Cream butter and sugar together until fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each.Mix the Creme Bouquet (or whatever emulsion you use) into the milk and set aside.
Mix 2 ¾ cup flour, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl.
Add flour mixture to butter/sugar/eggs in two parts, alternating with the milk mixture, beating well after each addition.
Mix with electric mixer until combined.
Mix Saskatoon berries with 1 tablespoon of flour.
Fold Saskatoon berries gently into batter until just combined (don't stir too much or you'll get purple batter)
Bake 25 - 40 minutes (depending on the pans you use), or until a cake tester inserted into the center of cake comes out clean.* It took 40 minutes in 2 9 -inch pans for me.
Let cool in pans 10 minutes,
Then remove from pans and cool completely on wire rack.
Slice off any hump on the cake.
Place cake cut side down on serving plate
Assembly
