There comes a time when your family simply will not eat another pumpkin cake. This can happen suddenly, regardless of how much frozen pumpkin puree you have left in the freezer. And you know when this time has come without ever having a discussion on the topic: you simply feel it in the air: suspicious looks as you pull out the mixing bowls, a nervous tension as coffee hour approaches, an undercurrent of violence barely contained...
I've had this recipe for a while, because long before I had blackberries in my own back yard, I foraged for them. Southern Sweden is thick with blackberries. They grow everywhere.
Pour into a loaf pan lined with parchment paper, and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
Easy as pie (well, cake...) and soooo good!
I may exaggerate, but the fact remains that no one in this house wants to eat anything made with pumpkin anytime in the near future. Not even me. I may surprise the family with some pumpkin soup in February or March, but even that might be pushing it.
So this week we made a Blackberry Loaf Cake with some of our frozen blackberries. Mmmmm

Blackberry Loaf Cake
1/4 cup butter, softened
4 oz cream cheese
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 cups blackberries
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
Cream the butter and the cream cheese. Gradually add sugar, mixing at medium speed. Add egg and vanilla, beating well. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt and beat into the creamed mixture, then fold in the blackberries.
Pour into a loaf pan lined with parchment paper, and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
Bake at 175 degrees for one hour, then let cool before slicing.
This week we also made a gorgeous Greek Yoghurt Cream Cheese Lemon Coffee Cake. It had nothing from my garden in it, so I won't describe it here, but I recomend you all look it up immediately on lovelylittlekitchen.com
Happy baking!
