Ingredients

Filling

  • 2 cups fresh blackberries substitute frozen, do not thaw; add 5–10 minutes baking
  • 1/2 cup sugar for macerating the blackberries

Batter

  • 1 cup sugar divided: 1/2 cup for berries, 1/2 cup for batter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour can use gluten-free blend
  • 1 cup milk whole milk gives best richness; low-fat works too
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted unsalted preferred
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or similar.
  • Toss blackberries with 1/2 cup sugar in a bowl. Let sit while you make the batter.
  • In another bowl, whisk together flour, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Pour in milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Stir until just combined — batter will be pourable with small lumps acceptable.
  • Pour batter into the prepared dish, spreading it evenly.
  • Spoon the sugared blackberries and any accumulated juices over the batter. Do not stir.

Baking

  • Bake for 45–50 minutes, until the top is golden and a toothpick into the cake part comes out clean.
  • Let cool for 10–15 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with cream or ice cream.

Notes

For vegan: swap milk for a plant milk and butter for vegan margarine; texture will be similar. For extra texture, stir 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon into the dry mix or sprinkle coarse sugar on top before baking.
