How to store this one bowl cake

I can almost guarantee that you won’t have any of this blackberry almond cake left, so this is sort of a trick question. It’s one of those cake that you have a little sliver of and keep going back from itty bitty slivers until it’s completely gone. BUT, if you do have any left, you can store it in an air tight container, plastic bag, covered plate, or under a cake dome for up to 5 days!

Pro tip: It also freezes very well! Simply let the cake cool completely and place in a freezer safe plastic bag. Simply defrost the cake overnight in the fridge. Freeze for up to 2 months!

Happy baking!

Units:

Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup neutral flavored oil (I used canola)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups blackberries

Instructions

    1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8 or 9 inch round with parchment paper. Set aside.
    2. In a stand mixer on medium speed, beat the sugar and eggs together until pale yellow, about 1 minute. If you don’t have a stand mixer, you can also do this by hand with a whisk!
    3. Keeping the mixer going at a medium low speed, slowly streaming in the oil to emulsify. Make sure you go slowly to prevent the batter from splitting! Add in the vanilla extract and almond extract. Mix well.
    4. Add the dry ingredients (all purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt) and stir until just combined. Do not over mix. Last, fold in the blackberries gently.
    5. Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake for 40 -55 minutes or until he cake is a lightly golden brown and a knife inserted into the middle comes out mostly clean. Dust with powdered sugar and enjoy!

  1. I have made this cake several times now, a few times as written and a few times by altering the portions of ingredients to get a less wet batter. For the latter, I use 1/2 c + 1 T of oil and 1 1/2 c of AP flour. It bakes up better for me – maybe because my oven runs cold. It’s also delicious with lemon extract for those who aren’t fans of almond.

    • We always use Bob’s Redmill 1 to 1 gluten free baking flour and it works like a charm! I would imagine King Arthur’s is similar!

  2. Delicious!! I made this cake for a spring gathering and it was the perfect dessert for the occasion! Served with Creme fraiche.
    I will definitely make this cake again!
