Gather Your Ingredients
Before we get too carried away drooling over that picture, let’s talk ingredients! You’ll need:
- 2 cups fresh blackberries (because fresh is the best, darling)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (sweet enough to make your teeth ache)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or the magic powder that holds everything together)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder (the tiny bubbles of happiness)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (a pinch to make it pop)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (for that glorious melt-in-your-mouth goodness)
- 1 large egg (the golden orb of protein)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (because everything is better with a little vanilla)
- 1/2 cup milk (liquid gold)
Let’s Get Cooking!
Now that you have your ingredients laid out like a delightful buffet, it’s time to channel your inner pastry chef and get cooking!
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. You don’t want your masterpiece sticking, trust me.
- In a large mixing bowl, blend the softened butter and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy—think clouds of sweetness!
- Add in your egg and vanilla extract, and mix until everything is well incorporated. It’s starting to smell super inviting!
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to your wet ingredients while alternating with the milk. Stir it gently like you’re coaxing the flavors to mingle.
- Now, fold in those beautiful blackberries. Ensure they are evenly distributed; we want a berry in every bite!
- Pour the batter into your prepared pan. Level it out and give it a little shake to settle in.
- Bake for about 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Your kitchen will smell divine!
- Once baked, let it cool for a few moments (if you can resist!), then serve it up with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for that extra pizzazz.
And there you have it! A delightful Blackberry Buckle that’ll impress your friends, family, or anyone fortunate enough to be around when you whip this up. Enjoy every scrumptious bite!
