After a delightful walk in the forest picking blackberries, and gathering some mirabelle plums from the garden, you’re all set.

1. Prepare the Dough<\/b>
\n In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, salt, sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat for a few minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the oil and continue to mix until well incorporated. Follow with the buttermilk, mixing well. Sift in the flour and baking powder, and mix on low speed until just combined.<\/p>\n
2. Preheat the Oven<\/b>
\n Preheat your oven to 350\u00b0F (180\u00b0C), using conventional settings.<\/p>\n
3. Prepare the Blackberries<\/b>
\n In a separate bowl, toss 300 grams of blackberries with one tablespoon of flour. Gently fold them into the batter using a spatula.<\/p>\n
4. Assemble the Cake<\/b>
\n Pour the batter into a 20×30 cm baking dish lined with parchment paper, spreading it evenly. Halve the mirabelle plums and remove the stones. Place the plum halves cut-side down on the batter, pressing them slightly into the mixture. Scatter the remaining blackberries among the plum pieces.<\/p>\n
5. Baking<\/b>
\n Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.<\/p>\n
6. Serving<\/b>
\n Allow the cake to cool, then remove from the pan. Dust with powdered sugar and serve.<\/p>\n
