If you’re looking for a dessert to serve in the summer months… one that utilizes fresh berries and is soft and beautiful and works perfectly with just a bit of sweetened whipped cream… then this is your dessert! This is indeed a cake… but you can see from the photo above that a pudding-like layer stays hidden underneath. I’ve called out summer as the month to bake this cake since berries are most easy to locate and are more affordable in the warmer months. But since you can find blackberries all year long, you can certainly bake it any time of year.
How to make Blackberry Lemon Pudding Cake:
A lemon-scented basic buttermilk batter is made first. Then that batter is combined with a beaten egg white mixture. Finally, fresh blackberries are added in. The cake is baked in a water bath. This means that the cake pan is placed into a large pan that has 1-inch of water in it. Once baked, a sprinkle of powdered sugar finishes it off.
The way it’s baked- in a water bath- helps with the wonderful textures in this Blackberry Pudding Cake. Serve it warm or cold- scooped onto a dish with a dollop of whipped cream. It’s just the kind of dessert that is perfect for devouring after an evening of summer grilling.
