Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup bourbon whiskey
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fruit
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blackberries
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for coating blackberries)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Prepare Blackberries: Toss the blackberries with 1 tablespoon of flour gently to coat them, which helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom during baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the 2 cups of flour and 1 cup sugar until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, melted butter, bourbon, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined to form a smooth batter.
- Fold in Blackberries: Gently fold the floured blackberries into the batter, taking care not to break them up.
- Pour Batter and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the cake is moist.
- Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Coating blackberries with flour helps distribute them evenly in the cake batter.
- For a boozier flavor, you can brush the baked cake with additional bourbon while still warm.
- This cake pairs wonderfully with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
- Use fresh blackberries for best texture and flavor, but frozen can be used if drained well.
