Blackberry Crumb Cake

Ingredients

Cinnamon

1 teaspoon

Brown sugar

1/2 cup

Fresh blackberries

2 cups

Vanilla extract

1 teaspoon

Milk

1 cup

Egg

1

Unsalted butter, cold and cubed

1/2 cup

Salt

1/2 teaspoon

Baking powder

2 teaspoons

Granulated sugar

1 cup

All-purpose flour

2 cups

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the bowl. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
5. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. The batter will be thick.
6. Spread half of the batter into your prepared baking dish. Sprinkle half of the blackberries evenly over the batter.
7. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle half of this mixture over the blackberries.
8. Repeat the layers with the remaining batter, blackberries, and brown sugar mixture.
9. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
10. Allow the cake to cool in the dish for at least 10 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the crumb topping to set.
