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!

    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. 🙂

    I so much like the combination of apple and blackberry! I used to make apple and blackberry with shortcrust pastry – amazing!

    Such a super cake for a birthday! 🙂 I hope you had a lovely day and were spoiled rotten. I totally made something for my birthday that I love and everyone else in my family hates. It’s my birthday – I will indulge! 😀

    Great! we still have apples and blackberries in the freezer from our garden, so this would put them to good use!

    How could you not love this cake? It’s beautiful and apple and blackberry are my favourite combo… I say if the family don’t like it they can go elsewhere for cake!

      Love you Dom, you can come round for cake any time:-) Think it was just my daughter who abstained as hubby always finds the temptation of what’s around the blackberries too hard to resist:-)
