Salmonberry Cake is a popular dessert in the Pacific Northwest, where the salmonberry plant grows wild. The cake is soft and moist, with a delicate crumb that pairs well with the sweet and tangy flavor of the salmonberries. The cake is often served chilled and topped with a fresh raspberry or whipped cream for added texture and flavor. The vibrant pink color of the salmonberry sauce makes this dessert an eye-catching centerpiece for any summer gathering.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350F.
2.	In a medium saucepan, cook 2 cups of salmonberries and water on medium-low heat until the berries are soft. Strain the mixture and reserve the juice.
3.	In a large bowl, beat the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and salmonberry juice until well combined.
4.	Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish and pour the batter into the dish.
5.	Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6.	Let cool completely.
7.	In a small saucepan, cook the remaining 2 cups of salmonberries and sugar on medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the berries break down.
8.	Pour the salmonberry sauce over the cake and serve chilled.
