How to Make Blackberry Bunt Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup granulated sugar.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter for 30 seconds using an electric mixer.
  4. Add 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Beat until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
  5. Add 4 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup buttermilk.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the wet ingredients alternately, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  8. Gently fold in 3 cups fresh blackberries.
  9. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan.
  10. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Once cooled, sift powdered sugar over the top for a delicate touch.
