A Little Tip from My Kitchen
When you’re working with fresh blackberries, you’ll notice they can sometimes be a bit tart. That’s why this recipe calls for 3 cups of sugar. It’s the perfect balance to those berries and keeps the cake from veering into overly sweet territory.
Sweet & Simple: White Chocolate Blackberry Cake You Can’t Resist
If you’re feeling adventurous, you can even try swapping the blackberries for raspberries or blueberries. Whatever you choose, just make sure the fruit is fresh and ripe for the best flavor.
Another trick I swear by is swirling that melted butter into the top of the batter. Not only does it create a gorgeous, golden crust, but it also adds a richness that takes this cake from good to downright heavenly.
This White Chocolate Blackberry Cake is a testament to my belief that not all cakes need frosting. It’s sweet, moist, and rich enough to stand on its own two feet. Whether you’re enjoying a slice with your morning coffee or serving it up at your next family gathering.
It’s bound to be a hit.

White Chocolate Blackberry Cake
Equipment
- 1 Large Mixing Bowl
- 1 hand mixer
- 1 medium sized cake pan
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh blackberries
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsn vanilla
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 3 cups sugar
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep:Preheat your oven to 375°F. Grab a medium-sized cake pan, grease it generously, and dust it lightly with flour. This little trick keeps your cake from clinging to the pan like it’s saying goodbye.
- Mix It Up:In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, eggs, sugar, milk, and those fresh blackberries. Now here’s where the magic happens—stir until those blackberries break up and blend into the batter. Your goal is a beautifully purple-streaked mixture that’s ready for the next step.
- Add the Sweet Touch:Gently fold in the white chocolate chips. Don’t overmix here; you want those chips to stay intact and dot the cake with pockets of creamy sweetness.
- Pour & Swirl:Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan. Now, take that melted butter and drizzle it all over the top. Using a small spatula, give the butter a gentle swirl into the top layer of the cake batter. This step creates a buttery, golden crust that’ll make you weak in the knees.
- Bake to Perfection:Pop your cake into the oven and let it bake for 45 to 60 minutes. Keep an eye on it towards the end—you’re looking for a golden brown top and a toothpick that comes out clean.
- Cool & Serve:Once it’s done, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely before slicing. No icing, no fuss, just pure Southern dessert bliss.
