Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Cake:
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup fresh blackberries (or frozen, thawed)
  • For the Crumble Topping:
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup oats (rolled)
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup sliced almonds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Mix in almond extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the blackberries.
  7. In a separate bowl, mix flour, oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the crumble topping. Pour in melted butter and mix until crumbly. Add sliced almonds if desired.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared cake pan. Sprinkle crumble topping evenly over the batter.
  9. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use ripe, fresh blackberries. Frozen, thawed, and drained blackberries can also be used.
  • Fold blackberries gently to maintain their shape.
  • Add almond slivers to the batter or crumble for extra almond flavor.
  • For a variation, substitute half the blackberries with raspberries or blueberries.
  • Make it gluten-free by using a gluten-free flour blend.
  • For a vegan option, replace eggs with flax eggs and use vegan butter.
  • Add nutmeg or cardamom for a spiced version.
  • Store covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • To freeze, wrap slices individually and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight.
