Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 1.25 cups granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 large eggs
• 0.5 cups buttermilk
• 2 cups blackberries, fresh or frozen
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easier release.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the vanilla extract, followed by the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.

Step 5

On low speed, alternate adding the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the batter, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold the blackberries into the batter using a spatula, being careful not to crush them.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Dust the top with powdered sugar (optional) before serving. Slice and enjoy!
