• Line a square 20cm tin with baking parchment and grease the sides. Pour/spoon the cake mixture into the tin.
• Put the blackberries on top of the cake mixture.
• Using your fingertips, rub together the butter and flour for the topping until it is like breadcrumbs. Then stir in the sugar and put it on top of the cake.
• Bake in the oven at for about 40 minutes.

• Bake in the preheated oven until top is beautifully browned and berry syrup bubbles on the surface, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
