Step-By-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 10-inch cast-iron skillet.
  2. Combine fresh blackberries with half of the granulated sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a mixing bowl. Let sit for 15 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth.
  4. Pour the batter into the greased skillet and dollop the blackberry mixture on top.
  5. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the top is golden brown. A toothpick should come out clean.
  6. Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
