Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups wild blackberries, fresh or frozen
• 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed (for crumble)
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour (for crumble)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Stir to combine.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 5

Gently fold the wild blackberries into the batter, being careful not to crush them too much.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

To make the crumble topping, mix 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, and 1/4 cup of cold cubed butter in a small bowl. Use a fork or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 8

Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the batter in the pan.

Step 9

Bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
