Description

Mini blackberry thyme cakes are delightful desserts that combine the sweetness of blackberries with the earthy flavor of thyme, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh blackberries, plus extra for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin tin or line it with mini muffin liners.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine the fresh blackberries with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and cook until they form a thick sauce.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  4. In another bowl, mix the melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chopped fresh thyme leaves into the batter.
  7. Spoon batter into each muffin cup, filling them halfway, then add a teaspoon of blackberry compote, and cover with more batter.
  8. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Let the cakes cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  10. Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with thyme and blackberries before serving.
