Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.25 cups granulated sugar
• 0.75 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cups buttermilk
• 2 items large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups fresh blackberries
• 0.5 cups light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the fresh blackberries gently to avoid smashing them.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.

Step 7

To make the crumb topping, combine the brown sugar, 1 cup of the all-purpose flour (from the total amount), ground cinnamon, and melted butter in a small bowl. Mix with a fork until crumbly.

Step 8

Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the cake batter in the pan.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Slice and serve the cake as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of glaze, if desired.
