It's a light cake loaded with tons of ripe blackberries, a hint of cinnamon, vanilla, and light crumb topping.
It's a favorite in our house as dessert for breakfast, brunch, camping or a sweet treat to bring to a friends for a get together.
You can never go wrong with Blackberry Buckle, it lasted less than 24 hours in our house, and Colt was already requesting I make it again.
To me that's a sign of a good thing!
In a mixer stir together:
- 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 3/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
Add 6 tablespoons Room Temperature Butter. Mix on medium speed until crumbly and well combined.
Topping will be crumbly yet the butter will be well blended. Set topping aside.
Cream together 6 tablespoons Slightly Cold Butter and 1 cup Sugar until light and fluffy.
I find colder butter holds more air then softened butter to make for a wonderfully light cake.
Add 2 whole Eggs one at a time and 1 teaspoon Vanilla. Beat well between each egg.
Add:
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 3/4 teaspoon Sea Salt
- 3/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
Mix until well combined.
Add:
- 2 3/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 3/4 cup Whole Milk
Gently fold in 4 1/2 cups Fresh Blackberries.
Spread cake batter into a buttered 9"x13" Pan.
I buttered my pan on this occasion, lined with parchment paper, buttered parchment paper to make removal from the pan easier but normally I just butter the pan well.
Sprinkle topping evenly over the top of cake.
Bake in a 375 degree oven for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of cake comes out clean and top is lightly brown.
Allow to cool 30 minutes-1 hour before slicing.
Blackberry Buckle is a favorite cake recipe for breakfast, brunch or dessert.

I love blackberries and they look absolutely delicious in the cake. I'm not usually adventurous with them, just popping some in a pie or making jam. Does this cake keep well - assuming it lasts more than one day!!? Beautiful photos. Sammie http://www.feastingisfun.com
ReplyDeleteI need a transporter device to get that piece out of the screen and in front of me right now. I want to devour it to the very last crumb.
ReplyDeleteI haven't made a buckle in more than a decade! And it surely wasn't as gorgeous as yours!!
ReplyDeleteOMG!! Yum!! I love, love, love it!
ReplyDeleteLook at all those delicious berries!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like breakfast to me! Am I right?
ReplyDeleteI love buckle cakes.. and this one looks perfect. I wish I had a slice to devour now with my cup of tea.
ReplyDeleteThis looks fan-freaking-tastic!! I absolutely adore blackberries, so it wouldn't last long in my house either! Thanks so much for sharing this tasty treat, Serena! I definitely need to make it soon!
