• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/4 cup milk
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup sliced almonds
• Powdered sugar, for dusting

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the butter-sugar mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
5. Gently fold in the fresh blackberries, being careful not to crush them.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
7. In a small bowl, mix together the rolled oats, brown sugar, and sliced almonds. Sprinkle this crumble mixture over the batter in the cake pan.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Once cooled, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar before serving. Slice and enjoy!
