Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh blackberries
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients while alternating with the milk.
- Gently fold in the blackberries, taking care not to crush them.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth out the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow cooling for 10 minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
