Blackberry and Apple Cake, with a touch of cinnamon, is perfect for using up frozen blackberries and is incredibly moist and delicious!

Blackberry and Apple Cake

It was a busy old week last week with my birthday on Tuesday and my party on Saturday.

I usually bake my Olive Oil Chocolate Cake for birthdays but I saved that for the party and instead opted to make this Blackberry and Apple Cake instead as I fancied a change.

I don’t get to use blackberries very often as hubby and daughter aren’t keen – but hey it was my birthday so who was going to argue with me! It was also a good excuse to use my stash of frozen blackberries from the autumn!

Family came over in the evening and we managed to polish off most of the cake so I can safely say it was fab.

I shall keep this post brief as I think I’m still recovering from all the festivities and turning my dining room from a food blogger’s junk yard, prop store and studio back into a dining room was no mean feat.

I’d forgotten what my dining room looked like!

    Do the blackberries have to be frozen?

    Such a stunning cake Camilla, I think blackberries and apples go beautifully together and are my favourite crumble combo. Commenting as BritMums Baking Round-Up Editor. 🙂
