Steps:
- Make cake:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Line bottom of a buttered 9- by 2-inch round cake pan with a round of wax paper, then butter paper.
- Sift together flour, baking powder and soda, and salt. Beat together butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy, then beat in vanilla. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, then, with mixer at low speed, beat in all of buttermilk until just combined. Add flour mixture in 3 batches, mixing after each addition until just combined.
- Spoon batter into cake pan, smoothing top, and bake in middle of oven until golden and a tester comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool in pan on a rack 10 minutes, then run a thin sharp knife around edge of cake to loosen. Invert onto rack, then slide cake onto a cake plate.
- Make topping:
- Bring wine, 3 tablespoons sugar, and zest to a boil in a small heavy saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Boil until syrup is reduced to about 2/3 cup, 1 to 2 minutes. Discard zest.
- Reserve 2 tablespoons syrup and pour remainder slowly and evenly over cake (cake will absorb syrup).
- Stir together reserved syrup, preserves, and remaining tablespoon sugar in small saucepan and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened slightly, about 1 minute (it should be the consistency of a thick syrup). Put blackberries in a large bowl, then pour preserves mixture over berries. Gently stir berries with a rubber spatula to coat, then pour over cake, mounding blackberries on top.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
BERRY BUTTERMILK CAKE
Buttermilk makes this stir-together cake super tender, but you can use any milk you have in its place. Same goes for the fruit: Use your favorite frozen berries, or a combination, but frozen cherries, mango or peaches work as well. Just cut any big fruit pieces into bite-size pieces before folding into the batter. And if you do happen to have fresh summer fruit around, that'll work, too.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Brush a 9-inch baking dish or pan (square or round is OK) with oil and line with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup oil, buttermilk, eggs, vanilla and 1 cup sugar. In a separate medium bowl, whisk 1 1/2 cups flour, the baking powder, baking soda and salt to combine. Whisk wet ingredients into dry until just combined. (Some small lumps are fine.) Toss berries on a plate with remaining 1 tablespoon flour. Fold into batter and transfer to the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle evenly with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, 53 to 58 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving. Cake will keep, loosely wrapped at room temperature, for about 4 days.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients whenever possible.
- Make sure your buttermilk is at room temperature before using it.
- Do not overmix the batter.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it.
- If you don't have Beaumes de Venise wine, you can substitute another sweet white wine.
- If you don't have fresh blackberries, you can use frozen or canned blackberries.
- You can also add other fruits to the cake, such as raspberries, blueberries, or strawberries.
Conclusion:
This buttermilk cake with blackberries and Beaumes de Venise is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the blackberries and wine add a touch of sweetness and tartness. The cake is also easy to make, and it can be made ahead of time, making it a great option for busy home cooks.
