Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (230g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 1/4 cups (250g) granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour, sifted
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk
- 1 1/2 cups (225g) blackberries (fresh or frozen, unthawed)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix just until combined—do not overmix.
- Gently fold the blackberries into the batter, being careful not to crush them.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Optionally, sprinkle a few extra blackberries on top for decoration.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For best results, use room-temperature ingredients and avoid overmixing the batter. If the top browns too quickly, tent with foil during the last 20 minutes of baking.
