Ingredients

  • 8 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoons brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 cups blackberries

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350º.
  • Melt the butter and pour into a 9 inch iron skillet or a deep dish pie pan. 
  • In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon together. Whisk in the milk and vanilla, mixing until just combined.
  • Pour the batter over the melted butter in the iron skillet. Evenly distribute the berries on top of the cake batter.
  • Bake for 45 minutes until the cake is golden brown and the center of the cake is cooked through. A toothpick should not have any cake batter on it. Immediately sprinkle with demerara sugar and let cool slightly before serving.   

Notes

  • You can use a deep dish pie pan or an 8 x 8 inch baking dish.
  • If using frozen berries, let them thaw and drain before adding. 
  • This is great served with cream or vanilla ice cream.
