If you’re looking for a unique cake recipe, try this brown sugar cake. It’s totally different than the typical fluffy cake you’re used to. This cake has a little bit of a dryer texture, almost like a pound cake but has amazing flavor.

It’s not too sweet and is perfectly paired with creme Fraiche and a simple blackberry reduction. This would be a great dessert for tea time or an afternoon snack.

How to Make Blackberry Reduction

Making a simple reduction is beyond easy!

Add 1/2 cup of fresh, washed blackberries into a small sauce pan.

Add in 1 tsp lemon juice, 3 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp cornstarch, and let it simmer until it becomes thicker consistency.

Use the juice to drizzle over the cake and creme Fraiche.

This is an easy process, no need to fuss over making a quick blackberry sauce. It’s used mostly to garnish and add another aspect of sweetness to the brown sugar cake.

Finally, cut the cake into small squares and serve with a dollop of creme Fraiche, a blackberry and a little blackberry sauce over the top.
