Lemon and Berry Swim "Swimming in Butter" Cake
This is a wonderful thing with a wonderfully funny name. The name swim biscuits/swim cake comes from the idea that the batter is swimming in butter at the point of baking! Essentially, you make up a thick batter and pour it into the dish which already has the melted butter in it!
