Yields: 1 cake
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 50 min
Ingredients:
1/3 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated
sugar
2
eggs, room temperature
3/4 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup all-purpose
flour
1 teaspoon
baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
1 cup fresh or frozen
Blackberries*
* If fresh
blackberries are not in season, you can substitute other fresh berries,
such as blueberries or huckleberries, or use dried fruits such as
raisins, currants, or dried cherries.
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350
degrees F. Oil a
bundt pan, cake pan, or 10-inch
springform pan;
sprinkle pan lightly with sugar.
In a large mixing bowl,
whip the butter at medium speed until creamy. Reduce the speed to low
and gradually add the sugar, mixing well. Add the eggs, one at a time,
mixing well, and then add the sour cream and vanilla extract. Increase
the speed to medium and mix well, scraping down the sides of the bowl as
needed.
In another large bowl,
combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt; mix thoroughly.
Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in several increments,
mixing well after each addition. Gently stir in the pecans or walnuts
and berries.
Pour the batter into the
prepared pan and bake for approximately 40 to 50 minutes, or until a
toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cake is done when the internal temperature
registers approximately 205 to 209 degrees F. on your
cooking thermometer.
This
is the type of cooking thermometer that I prefer and use in my cooking. I get many readers
asking what cooking thermometer that I prefer and use in my cooking and baking. I, personally, use the
Thermapen Thermometer shown in the photo on the right. Originally designed for professional users, the
Super-Fast Thermapen Thermometer is used by chefs all over the world. To learn more about this excellent
thermometer and to also purchase one (if you desire), just click on the underlined:
