Blackberry Coffee Cake

Photo: Kitchen Trial and Error

This is a lovely Blackberry Coffee Cake that is beautifully moist and gently spiced with vanilla and cinnamon. But what makes me smile is the thick layer of juicy blackberries topped by an even thicker layer of crumble. Yes, yes, yes.

The berries and batter swirl together and produce a delightful marbled effect throughout the cake.

The crunchy crumble topping with almonds is great for a texture contrast, and it tastes great too.

This is a great cake recipe for substitutions. No blackberries – how about blueberries. No fresh fruit – use frozen. No almonds for the crumble – use walnuts. Variations abound, but deliciousness is absolutely guaranteed.

This cake is a coffee cake in that in goes well with a cup of coffee. There’s absolutely no coffee in the cake.

This Blackberry Coffee Cake is baked with love by Kitchen Trial and Error.
