This Blackberry Cake recipe is one of my cakes to make. It’s so easy and I’ve made it so many times that I feel like I could do it in my sleep! The secret to baking with blackberries is to not wash them. I know this sounds gross, but if you wash them you’ll add water to the cake mix and that’ll affect the cooking times. Instead of washing them, check them for dirt and brush off any you find with a paper towel. Trust me!
As I mentioned, this cake is not difficult to make. Start by preparing a simple cake batter. Place a layer of blackberries at the bottom of a springform pan. Then layer in half the cake batter. Add another layer of blackberries and repeat the cake layer. Top with blackberries and a sprinkle of sugar. Bake, cool and enjoy! Loooovely!
To make Blackberry Cake, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Line a 9 inch springform cake tin with baking paper.
Melt the butter in a small pan and set to one side.
Beat the eggs, sugar and vanilla together with an electric mixer until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
Sift in the flour and baking powder. Beat again until the ingredients are fully incorporated. Pour in the melted butter and milk and beat again.
Scatter some of the blackberries around the bottom of the tin. Pour in half of the cake mix. Then scatter more blackberries and top with more cake mix. Decorate the top of the cake with the remaining blackberries and sprinkle with caster or vanilla sugar.
Place the cake tin on a baking sheet. Bake for about 1 hour in the preheated oven. When the cake is golden on top and a toothpick comes out clean, it’s done.
Allow the cake to cool before taking it from the tin.
Serve with a large dollop of ice cream.
