Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup bourbon whiskey
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fruit
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blackberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan to prevent sticking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, use a mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add eggs and bourbon: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the bourbon and vanilla extract, mixing until everything is well incorporated.
- Combine dry and wet ingredients: Alternately add the flour mixture and buttermilk to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the flour mixture, mixing gently after each addition.
- Fold in blackberries: Carefully fold in the fresh blackberries to the batter, being gentle to avoid crushing the berries.
- Pour and bake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake is moist.
- Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Make sure to gently fold in the blackberries to prevent them from breaking and turning the batter purple.
- You can substitute bourbon with whiskey or rum for a different flavor profile.
- For an extra moist cake, you can brush the baked cake with a little additional bourbon syrup while warm.
- Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert.
