Lemon Blackberry Cake

Print Recipe

A bright, tender cake that balances juicy blackberries with fresh lemon flavor, perfect for casual afternoon tea or summer potluck.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup blackberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. Cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Combine the milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest until well combined.
  5. Mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, then add to the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Fold in the blackberries gently to avoid crushing them.
  7. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Serve sliced, optionally with powdered sugar on top.

Notes

Bring eggs and butter to room temperature before baking for a smoother batter. Store in an airtight container to preserve moisture.
