So I found out there was a blackberry bush growing up in our London garden! Some might see it as a thorny invasion, but I chose to see the bright side of it: I just have to open the door to get some fresh fruits for free :) Not quite as sweet as the blackberries growing up back home in France, but perfect for a cake!
Ingredients
- 180 g of flour (I used rice flour today with a bit of chestnut flour to give a nutty taste to the cake)
- 2 tsp of baking powder (gluten-free)
- 3 eggs
- 125 g of sugar (demerara as usual + a bit of agave syrup)
- 80 g of sunflower margarine (replace it with butter if you don't eat dairy-free)
- some cinnamon
- 300 g of blackberries ( but it can be any other berries)
Directions
1°/ Preheat the oven to 180°C.
2°/ Combine eggs and sugar and whisk for a bit. Then add melted margarine, flour, baking powder and cinnamon. Stir well.
3°/ Add the blackberries and stir gently.
4°/ Pour the mixture in a greased round cake tin (or loaf tin) and bake for about 45 minutes (I covered with foil after 30 minutes).
So easy to make and really moist, it's the perfect summer cake. I couldn't wait until it had completely cooled down to try it... but I can now tell that warm, it's delicious too :)
