Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups wild blackberries, fresh or frozen
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed (for crumble)
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour (for crumble)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Stir to combine.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Gently fold the wild blackberries into the batter, being careful not to crush them too much.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
To make the crumble topping, mix 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, and 1/4 cup of cold cubed butter in a small bowl. Use a fork or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the batter in the pan.
Bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
