Ingredients

• 2 cups blackberries
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup milk
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup boiling water
• 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
• 0.25 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.

Step 2

Spread the blackberries evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 4

Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined to form a thick batter.

Step 5

Spread the batter evenly over the blackberries in the baking dish, using a spatula to smooth the top.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon (if using). Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the dish.

Step 7

Pour the boiling water gently over the entire dish, being careful not to disturb the layers. Do not stir.

Step 8

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the pudding cake cool for 10-15 minutes. The cake will settle, and the blackberries will create a sauce-like layer at the bottom.

Step 10

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
