1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 cup milk
1 cup fresh blackberries
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the almond extract.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
Fold in Blackberries: Gently fold in the fresh blackberries, being careful not to break them.
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 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.
