Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons (60g) unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blackberries
  • 1 cup (120g) almond flour
  • 3/4 cup (90g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (115g) softened unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a small saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons (60g) of butter and stir in 1/2 cup (100g) of brown sugar. Pour this mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Arrange blackberries over the sugar mixture in a single layer.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat 1/2 cup (115g) softened butter and 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  5. Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  7. Carefully spoon the batter over the blackberries, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes before running a knife around the edges.
  9. Place a serving plate over the pan and flip the cake upside down. Remove the pan and parchment paper. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Use parchment paper to make flipping the cake easier. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother batter. Check for doneness at the 40-minute mark to avoid overbaking.
