Ingredients

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

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the 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.
Combine Wet Ingredients: Stir in the buttermilk, lime zest, and lime juice until well combined.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the blackberries.
Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in 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.
