I love all the fruits available during the summer — Like the blackberries in this cake. Here’s a fun and simple recipe I found on Lululu at Home.

Blackberry Cake
(makes a 6" cake or 1 loaf)
Ingredients:
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
1 cup plus 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups fresh blackberries
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 6" cake pan or a loaf pan.
Using a stand mixer, beat together butter and 1 cup sugar unitl light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg, milk and vanilla. Beat until fully incorporated.
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
With the mixer on low speed, mix in flour mixture.
Transfer batter to the greased pan.
Arrange berries on top. Sprinkle remaining 2 Tbsp sugar over berries.
Bake cake for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325F. Bake until cake is golden brown and firm to the touch, about 50 minutes.
Cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Remove to wire rack and cool completely.
Cooling. Couldn’t wait to taste it.
Yes, two slices. Yum!
These berries taste delicious alone or in a cake.
