Warm Almond Blackberry Cakes

Recipes »  Desserts  »  Cakes

Warm, sweet without being cloying, moist and slightly chewy texture with rich almond flavor and a delicious burst of blackberry every couple of bites. Best eaten the day they are made.

 "We have blackberry branches in our backyard and they were growing like crazy! So I found this recipe which looked really good and easy to make. Being a newbie to baking I messed up the messurements. So I ended up with twice the batter afterwards. Luckily I had bowls full of blackberries. They turned out great as 3 larger cakes and work perfectly with a bit of icecream. Great recipe, great taste. The blackberries really pop out!" - bbruinsma

    It was a little dry for my taste, but I will make it again. Maybe make the batter a little more moist before I bake it (add cream or something to it).
    Had good flavor.

    I loved the simplicity of this recipe...it came out just as beautiful as the photo. This pairs very nicely with some vanilla ice cream. I opted to use some almond extract instead of the vanilla. I didn't have any blackberries, so I used some blueberries. Thank you for sharing this recipe...it is a beautiful dessert that impresses!

    I did these in four ramekins and they were wonderful, but the size was just a touch too big for me. I think just a little smaller would be perfect, so I’ve adjusted the instructions to make 6 instead. You want low, flat ramekins if you have them, so that you get more of the crisp, golden brown crust, but I’m sure it would still work with deeper ones; you may just need to bake them a little longer to make sure the center is done. [I posted this recipe.]
