Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup fresh blackberries (or frozen, thawed)
- ½ cup boiling water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and buttermilk until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
- Gently fold in the blackberries. Carefully pour in the boiling water, stirring slowly until well blended.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Frost with your favorite chocolate ganache or whipped cream, and garnish with extra blackberries.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh blackberries or thawed frozen blackberries that are thoroughly drained.
- Adding a splash of raspberry liqueur or espresso powder can enhance the chocolate flavor.
- This cake can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
