Ingredients
4 1/2 cups fresh blackberries, washed and dried
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, thinly sliced
1 package (15.25 ounce) French vanilla cake mix
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
In a medium bowl, toss the fresh blackberries with the white sugar until evenly coated.
Spread the sugared blackberry mixture into an even layer in a 9×13-inch glass baking dish.
Sprinkle the dry French vanilla cake mix evenly over the layer of blackberries.
Place the thin slices of butter across the top of the cake mix, covering as much surface area as possible.
Do not stir the ingredients; keep the layers intact.
Bake for 45 minutes or until the topping is a deep golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Ensure the butter is thinly sliced to promote even melting and a consistent golden crust across the entire surface of the cake mix. Do not stir the layers, as the separation is essential for the characteristic crust texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
