Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 pint blackberries
1 cup canned diced pineapple, drained
Leaves from 2 sprigs thyme
Pinch kosher salt
1 box yellow cake mix (I like Duncan Hines)
12 ounces creme fraiche
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Seeds from 1/2 vanilla bean
Zest of 1/2 lemon
Pinch kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Melt together the butter and brown sugar in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet on medium heat. When the sugar and butter have melted together stir in the blackberries, pineapple, thyme leaves and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the brown sugar begins to bubble, about 3 minutes. Once this happens turn the heat off.
  • Prepare the cake mix as directed on the package and pour over the fruit. Bake until the cake is slightly golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the creme fraiche: Whisk the creme fraiche, sugar, vanilla bean seeds, lemon zest and salt in a medium bowl to stiff peaks.
  • To serve: Serve slices of cake warm or at room temperature with dollops of vanilla creme fraiche.
