For a richer flavor, use melted butter instead of vegetable oil in the crumb topping. If you don't have Saskatoon berries, you can substitute blueberries, huckleberries, or even a mixture of berries. A sprinkle of chopped pecans or walnuts can be added to the crumb topping for extra crunch. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra-special treat. The cake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

01 Step
Recipe View Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan thoroughly. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View Prepare the Crumb Topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, flour, rolled oats, and cinnamon. Gradually drizzle in the oil, stirring with a fork until the mixture forms coarse crumbs. Press half of the crumb mixture evenly into the prepared pan for the crust. Reserve the remaining crumb mixture for the topping. (10 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Bake the Crust: Bake the crust in the preheated oven until it is lightly golden and set, approximately 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly while you prepare the filling. Leave the oven on. (20 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Make the Berry Filling: In a medium saucepan, combine the Saskatoon berries and water. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, or until the berries have softened slightly and released some of their juices. Stir in the lemon juice. (15 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View Thicken the Filling: In a small bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and flour. Add the sugar mixture to the simmering berries, stirring constantly until the filling thickens, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool for a few minutes. Pour the berry filling evenly over the baked crust. (8 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View Assemble and Bake: Sprinkle the diced cream cheese evenly over the berry filling. Gently crumble the reserved crumb topping over the cream cheese, pressing lightly with a potato masher or the back of a spoon to help it adhere. (5 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View Bake the Cake: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crumb topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. (45 minutes)
08 Step
Recipe View Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares and serving. This allows the filling to set up properly. (60 minutes)
