Yield Makes 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

For crumb topping
2 1/2 cups sugar
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
For cake
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup dry white wine, room temperature
4 large eggs
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 (16-ounce) bags frozen blackberries or 4 cups fresh blackberries, frozen on sheet pan for 1 hour
Accompaniment: vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Make crumb topping:
  • In food processor, pulse flour and sugar until combined. Add 4 pieces butter and pulse until incorporated. Continue adding several pieces butter and pulsing until all butter is incorporated and mixture resembles coarse meal with some small (roughly pea-size) butter lumps. Transfer to medium bowl and chill 30 minutes.
  • Make cake:
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter and flour 9- by 13-inch glass baking dish.
  • In medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In medium bowl, whisk together melted butter and wine.
  • In bowl of electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat together eggs, sugar, and vanilla on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Reduce speed to low and beat in flour and butter mixtures alternately in batches, beginning and ending with flour mixture, for 5 batches total.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan and top with blackberries, then cover with crumb topping, pressing down lightly to seal in blackberries. Bake slump until top is golden brown, about 1 1/2 hours. Transfer to rack and cool 20 minutes. While still slightly warm, spoon into individual bowls and top with vanilla ice cream.
