Loganberry Cake

Submitted by mollypaul

"Loganberries look like blackberries but are actually a thornless cross between blackberries and red raspberries. It has the combined flavor of both berries, delightful to the taste and peculiar to this fruit alone. If you don't have access to loganberries, any brambleberry or combination will work in this pie. From the Western chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, 1947."
