  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  7. In a separate bowl, toss the mixed berries with 2 tablespoons of flour to coat them.
  8. Gently fold the coated berries into the cake batter.
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
  10. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped walnuts (if using).
  11. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the cake batter.
  12. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  13. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
  14. Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
