After finding the aforementioned blueberry buckle recipe, I gathered my ingredients and started work on my raspberry version. I did exactly as the recipe calls for, with 2 minor switches. I used margarine instead of butter (all that was in the apartment), and raspberries instead of the blueberries. This is impressively "as per the recipe." I am one to make many a change, but this time I was pretty true to Kim's published version.
As this was the night the boy and I were to have dinner with a mutual friend, I made the batter at home and baked it at the friend's apartment. This became a problem as the cinnamon sugar butter topping melted in the mid-atlantic's July heat, resulting in an absolutely delicious, though less buckle-y cake.

Blueberry Buckle
Ingredients
Batter
¼ cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
½ cup sugar
1 large egg
¾ cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla (Not in original recipe, but spritzes up flavor of batter)
2 cups blueberries (1 pint)
Topping
½ cup sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, cold, cut into dice
Method:
Preheat oven to 350. Butter an 8-inch square baking dish.
In the bowl of a electric mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and mix until combined.
In a small bowl, sift or whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Add dry ingredients to the batter, alternating with the milk, mixing until smooth and blended.
Scrape batter into prepared pan and spread with a rubber spatula so that it evenly covers the pan. Sprinkle berries over batter.
