Christmas blackberry cake

Christmas blackberry cake

We all save that special space for dessert, especially if it is a very taste one. What if you celebrate this year’s Christmas with a tender moist crumb, juicy fresh blackberries and a crisp sugary top? Here is the recipe:

Frozen blackberries work well in this cake, we suggest Delifood’s blackberries since they are very fresh.

Ingredients:

For the crumble topping:

70 g raising flour
45g margarine
25 g light brown sugar

For the cake:

225g margarine
200g sugar
3 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
250 g plain flour
1½ tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
120 g fat free yogurt
200 g of Delifood’s Blackberries

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 170ºc.
Add the flour, sugar and margarine to a bowl. Rub the margarine into the flour and sugar until you get a breadcrumb consistency. Set aside.
Mix the margarine and sugar together until pale and fluffy, usually around 5 minutes.
Add the eggs and vanilla and mix them.
Add in the flour, baking powder, salt and mix until completely combine.
Spoon in the yogurt and mix until just combined.
Fold the blackberries through the cake mix making sure you are gentil.
Tip the cake into the tin and smooth the top.
Sprinkle over the crumb topping and bake in the oven for 55-60 minutes until a cocktail stick comes out clean.
Leave it to cool for 30 minutes or so before tipping out and allowing to cool completely on a wire rack.
