Easy Blackberry Upside-Down Cake Recipe

Ingredients

• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 cups fresh blackberries
• 0.75 cup white sugar
• 1 cup white sugar
• 0.5 cup butter, softened
• 2 eggs eggs
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt brown sugar with 2 tablespoons of butter. Add fresh blackberries and cook, stirring continuously, until the mixture begins to bubble, approximately 1 to 3 minutes. Incorporate 3/4 cup of white sugar, gently crushing the blackberries with a fork, and continue cooking until the blackberries are heated through and slightly softened, about 5 minutes more. Remove from heat and evenly pour the blackberry mixture into a 9-inch cake pan.
3. In a mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of white sugar and 1/2 cup of butter using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture and milk to the butter mixture, alternating between the two and beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Stir in vanilla extract to complete the cake batter.
5. Carefully pour the cake batter over the prepared blackberry mixture in the 9-inch cake pan. To prevent messes, place the cake pan on the prepared baking sheet in case of any batter overflow during baking.
6. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 35 to 40 minutes. Allow the cake to cool in the pan until it is warm, but not completely cold, about 30 minutes. Gently run a knife along the inside edge of the pan to loosen the cake from the sides. Place a cake plate over the top of the pan and carefully flip the pan over. Slowly lift the pan to release the beautiful blackberry upside-down cake.
