Ingredients
Scale
For the Cake:
- 1 cup sugar
- 6 T butter
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup of milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ cup of flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp salt
- 4 cups blackberries, divided
For the streusel topping:
- ½ cup small chopped pecans
- 3 T brown sugar
- 2 T butter, cut into small pieces
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees
- Cream butter and the white sugar together, using a hand mixer or stand mixer. Add eggs, milk, and vanilla extract and beat until smooth.
- Place the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt together in a bowl and stir. Beat dry ingredients into wet ingredients a little at a time, creating a smooth, fairly thick batter.
- Using a spatula, gently fold 3 cups of the berries into the cake batter. (Don’t worry if the berries break up.)
- Spray a 9×7 or 8×8 glass baking dish lightly with cooking spray. Pour the batter into the prepared dish and place the remaining cup of whole berries onto the top of the cake.
- Place brown sugar and pecans into a small bowl and stir. Sprinkle mixture over the top of the cake and berries, then dot with small pieces of butter.
- Place cake into the oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove cake from oven and allow to cool before serving.
