Blackberry Cake recipe

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!
