Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups cake flour (not self-rising)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 large eggs
1 cup well-shaken buttermilk
For topping
3/4 cup Beaumes-de-Venise or other white dessert wine
4 tablespoons sugar
1 (3- by 1-inch) strip fresh orange zest
1/3 cup seedless blackberry preserves or 1/2 cup blackberry preserves with seeds, strained
4 cups fresh blackberries (1 1/2 lb)

Steps:

  • Make cake:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Line bottom of a buttered 9- by 2-inch round cake pan with a round of wax paper, then butter paper.
  • Sift together flour, baking powder and soda, and salt. Beat together butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy, then beat in vanilla. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, then, with mixer at low speed, beat in all of buttermilk until just combined. Add flour mixture in 3 batches, mixing after each addition until just combined.
  • Spoon batter into cake pan, smoothing top, and bake in middle of oven until golden and a tester comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool in pan on a rack 10 minutes, then run a thin sharp knife around edge of cake to loosen. Invert onto rack, then slide cake onto a cake plate.
  • Make topping:
  • Bring wine, 3 tablespoons sugar, and zest to a boil in a small heavy saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Boil until syrup is reduced to about 2/3 cup, 1 to 2 minutes. Discard zest.
  • Reserve 2 tablespoons syrup and pour remainder slowly and evenly over cake (cake will absorb syrup).
  • Stir together reserved syrup, preserves, and remaining tablespoon sugar in small saucepan and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened slightly, about 1 minute (it should be the consistency of a thick syrup). Put blackberries in a large bowl, then pour preserves mixture over berries. Gently stir berries with a rubber spatula to coat, then pour over cake, mounding blackberries on top.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

The cake was a little dry, but the flavor was still good. I think I might have overcooked it a bit. Next time I'll be sure to keep a closer eye on it in the oven.
