Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup bourbon
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 cups fresh blackberries
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add Eggs and Flavor: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract and bourbon until well combined.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
Fold in Blackberries: Gently fold in the fresh blackberries, being careful not to break them apart.
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Bake for 45-50 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 to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
