Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 2 cups Blackberries
- 0.25 cups Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 10-cup bundt pan thoroughly with butter or nonstick cooking spray, ensuring all the crevices are coated.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Using a stand mixer or handheld mixer, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and lemon zest until fully combined.
With the mixer on low speed, alternate adding the dry ingredients and the milk to the wet mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix each addition just until incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold the blackberries into the batter using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it out evenly and smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bundt pan from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then gently invert the pan onto a wire rack and carefully remove the cake. Let it cool completely before serving.
Optional: Dust the cake with powdered sugar for a decorative touch before slicing and serving.
