Bake for about 40 minutes in the oven until top is golden brown. Take out from the oven and allow to cool for 30 minutes. Cut into squares. I left mine over the night in the fridge. It is easier for cutting.

Before serving you can warm it in a microwave and serve it with some ice cream.
Enjoy,

P.S The blackberry cake staid a little longer in the refrigerator than it was planned. As a result, the sugar has melted and the top was not so crispy. To get back to its suitable for serving shape, I sprinkle some chopped butter cookies on top;)
