Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
4 large eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fresh blackberries, plus extra for garnish
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup milk
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Mix Together: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
Fold in Blackberries and Walnuts: Gently fold in the blackberries and chopped walnuts, being careful not to break the berries.
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, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with additional blackberries before serving.
