Based on http://www.recipezaar.com/27372

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 
2 teaspoons baking powder 
1 cup sugar 
1 large egg, beaten 
3/4 cup milk 
3 tablespoons butter, melted 
1 teaspoon vanilla extract 
1/2 cup sugar 
1/2 pint fresh blackberries, rinsed and drained 


Preheat oven to 350°F. 

Mix together flour, baking powder and the 1 cup of sugar. 

Add the beaten egg, milk, melted butter and vanilla; mix until smooth. 

Mix together the 1/2 cup sugar and the blackberries, stirring to coat the berries evenly; set aside. 

Pour cake mixture into a well-greased 9" round cake pan. 

Top cake batter with sugared berries; swirl around gently with a spoon, leaving some on top. 

Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean (if it hits a berry, try somewhere else). 

Cool in pan on a wire rack. 


(Next time: use orange extract?)
