Equipment

  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • 9x13-inch glass baking dish
  • Mixing bowls (small and medium)
  • Measuring spoons

Ingredients
  

Batter

  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 ½ cups white sugar
  • 2 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp baking powder

Berries

  • 6 cups fresh ripe blackberries
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
  • ½ cup white sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together sugar and cornstarch.
  • Place the blackberries in a mixing bowl, drizzle with melted butter, sprinkle the cornstarch mixture over the top, and toss until the berries are evenly coated.
  • Spread the blackberry mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Stir in milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the batter is combined but still a little lumpy.
  • Pour the batter evenly over the blackberries in the dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until the berries are tender and the crust is golden brown.
  • Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • For extra depth of flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.
  • If your blackberries are especially tart, increase the sugar slightly to balance the flavor.
  • Fresh or frozen blackberries both work well—just don't thaw the frozen ones before using.
