Ingredients
Scale
For the cake:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup chopped apples (peeled)
- 1/2 cup blackberries
For the crumble topping:
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the Cake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. In a large mixing bowl, beat together butter and sugar until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with buttermilk, and mix until smooth.
- Add Fruit: Gently fold in the chopped apples and blackberries, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
- Make the Crumble: In a small bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Mix until crumbly. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the cake batter.
- Bake: Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 45–50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Feel free to swap blackberries for other berries like raspberries or blueberries.
- If you don’t have buttermilk, you can use regular milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar.
- You can also top the cake with a drizzle of vanilla glaze or whipped cream for extra sweetness.
