Ingredients

½ cup unsalted butter softened, if using salted, omit the salt
1 cup + 2 tbsp granulated sugar divided
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
1¼ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp coarse salt
½ cup sour cream
1 lb. blackberries

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 9-inch cast-iron skillet with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat butter and 1 cup of the sugar together until combined and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add in the vanilla.
Add in the flour, baking powder, and salt, beating just until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl if necessary.
Add in the sour cream and combine.
Fold in the blackberries.
Spread the batter into the prepared skillet. Sprinkle evenly with the remaining 2 tbsp sugar.
Bake until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes.
Let cool, serve, and enjoy!
