Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While that’s heating up, let’s make some magic!
In a 9x13-inch baking dish, spread those fresh blackberries evenly. If you’re using frozen ones, don’t worry about thawing them—just toss them in.
Sprinkle the sugar over the blackberries, and if you’re feeling a little extra, add that almond extract for a flavor twist.
Now, grab that cake mix and sprinkle it evenly over the blackberries. This is the “dump” part, but let’s keep things classy, shall we?
Drizzle the melted butter over the cake mix. You might feel like a butter artist here, and that’s okay—embrace it!
Pour the cup of water evenly over the top. Yes, water—trust me on this one.
Pop the dish into your preheated oven and bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. Your kitchen will smell like heaven at this point, so don’t be surprised if neighbors come knocking.
Let the cake cool for a few minutes before diving in. Or, just grab a spoon and pretend it’s a “taste test.”
