Ingredients
Loaf
- ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (½ stick / 57 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- ½ cup (115 g) sour cream, room temperature
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 ½ cups (187.5 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup (122.5 g) whole milk, room temperature
- 2 cups (288 g) fresh blackberries, divided
Glaze (Optional)
- 1 cup (125 g) confectioners' sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk, room temperature
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray an 8½ x 4½-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- To the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, add the sugar, butter, sour cream, and egg. Beat until creamy. (You could also use a handheld mixer.)
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- With the mixer on low, alternate between adding the flour mixture and the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
- Gently fold in about 1 ¾ cups of blackberries, reserving ¼ cup for the topping.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and top with the reserved blackberries.
- Bake for 60-65 minutes. The bread is done when an inserted toothpick comes out clean with a few crumbs, but no wet batter.
- Let the loaf cool completely.
Glaze (Optional)
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and milk. Add more milk until the glaze reaches your desired consistency.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled loaf. Slice and serve.
