Ingredients

1 cup almond flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup fresh blackberries
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the blackberries.
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
