Taste of Home Blackberry Orange Cake

You heard about the main course and the appetizer I made for my parent’s anniversary…well here is dessert! This was excellent. Not too sweet but sweet enough to know you are having dessert. I served this with fat free Cool Whip but ice cream would also be a great choice! This was good enough for Robby to come looking for seconds a little later in the day!

INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup of butter, softened
1 cup of sugar, divided
1 large egg
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1 1/2 cups plus 1 Tablespoon of all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Pinch of salt
1/2 cup sour cream
2 cups fresh blackberries

Optional for topping
Cool whip
Ice cream
Sprinkle of powdered sugar

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9 inch spring form pan. In a large bowl cream butter and 3/4 cup of sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in one egg and orange peel. In another bowl whisk 1 1/2 cups flour, baking soda and salt, add to creamed mixture alternating with the sour cream, beating well after each addition. Transfer to prepared pan. In a bowl toss the blackberries with remaining flour and arrange over batter. Sprinkle with remaining sugar. Bake 40 -45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Loosen sides of the pan with a knife and remove rim from pan. Cool on a wire rack and serve warm or at room temp. Add one of the toppings if desired.

Enjoy!
