Start with fresh blackberries, flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and baking powder. These simple ingredients are the foundation of a delicious blackberry cake.
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your blackberry cake bakes evenly and turns out perfectly moist.
Combine flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. This step helps the cake rise and stay fluffy.
Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This adds sweetness and a smooth texture to your blackberry cake.
Beat in eggs one at a time, ensuring a smooth and well-mixed batter that bind the ingredients and give the cake structure.
Gently fold in fresh blackberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter for juicy bites.
Grease your cake pan, then pour the blackberry cake batter in, spreading it evenly for a perfect bake.
Place the pan in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. Your blackberry cake is ready when a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow your blackberry cake to cool for 10 minutes before removing it from the pan. Let it cool completely before slicing.
Top your blackberry cake with powdered sugar or whipped cream for an extra special touch. Enjoy!
