BLACKBERRY PUDDING

Blackberry Pudding will become one of your favorite recipes to make and serve with whipped cream or ice cream. Serve this blackberry pudding to your family and guests for a great dessert and you won’t have any left.
What is Blackberry Pudding?
Blackberry Pudding is a cake that is made similar to a cobbler and delicious topped with ice cream. I love it for breakfast with coffee in the mornings and it is good with milk poured over it, too. I always ate cobbler as a child with milk poured over it and I like this blackberry pudding that way. This is an old fashioned recipe that my family loves. I know using the word “pudding” can be confusing but it is a pudding style cake.
This cake is made with simple ingredients:
- White Granulated Sugar
- Butter
- All Purpose Flour
- Baking Powder
- Salt
- Evaporated Milk or Regular Milk
- Almond or Vanilla Extract
- Fresh Blackberries
- Boiling Water
Most of these ingredients you will have on hand which is always a plus! If you grow your own blackberries you are set and this dish is a wonderful summer dessert. It reheats well in the microwave and we love it served warm with ice cream.

This was delicious. On my desert list to share! Thank you
I love blackberries and this summer’s crop was sweet and delicious, hence this pudding,which I made two nights ago will now become a family favorite. Thanks!
Wonderful! So glad you enjoyed it!!
Hi there from Hobart Tasmania , made this delightful pudding from blackberries picked from my property. Substituted milk and butter with coconut milk and non dairy spread for my vegan daughter worked perfectly and delish 🙂
How wonderful! Thank you so much for letting me know. I am so glad you enjoyed this recipe. Have a wonderful week!
Hi, I too am from Kentucky and some of my fondest memories are from family gatherings and the wonderful food we all brought together. My grandmother maid this on occasion and I loved it when she did. She was a wonderful cook and new home to make wonderful meals on a budget. Thanks for sharing this recipe! -Gary
Hi Gary, Always nice to meet another Kentuckian and happy to have you on the site. I hope you enjoy the recipes and thank you for sharing your memories of your grandmother.
I am from Kentucky as well. My mother-in-law always made this, as well as the blackberry dumplins!’ Love them both still! I love to eat this warm with lots of butter! But don’t tell anyone!
I made this today in two foil 8 1/2 inch cake pans. One for my house..one for an elderly woman who no longer cooks. It came out fabulous..picked up Brusters vanilla ice cream to go with it for her. Thanks for another great recipe!
I made this and it turned out okay – would like it better if less bread texture and more pudding.
This looks really good. Could use just about any fruit too. Love your site!
for several days I have not seen any thing from your site. Why?

I have been looking for an old fashion recipe for white bread. My father-in-law used to make the best bread that I have ever eaten.Do you have a good white bread recipe?
The only one on the site is a sourdough bread recipe, Bonnie. You can find it under breads on the right hand side of any page on the website.
JUST MADE THE BLACKBERRY COBBLER YESTERDAY FOR MY HUSBAND….HE LOVED IT!! THANKS FOR THE GREAT RECIPE.
Looks good and I have those berries in my freezer.
Thank you for this recipe.
I pinned this so I can make it this weekend. My husband loves Blackberries.
Can’t wait to try this, thanks. What do you think about peaches, either frozen or fresh? Or do you have a different recipe for peach cobbler?
There are several cobbler recipes on the site. Look on the right hand side of any page and click on cobblers.
I want to try this recipe as it looks so good.
I wonder if fresh strawberries would work. We are in Florida and at the peak of strawberry season.
Yes, I think they would Gaile. Some people on FB have made it already using blueberries and it worked fine.
I love your comment about pouring milk over the cobblers…my grandma made a delicious sweet potato cobbler when I was a little girl, and she always poured sweet milk over it when she would take it out of the oven. Your recipes are always good!
This looks great! Love blackberries! Can’t wait to make it!!
We call this cobbler in my neck of the woods. It is very delicious with any kind of fruit.
Yet another super yummy recipe – I’m going to open a new ‘folder’ on my Pinterest page just for your posts!!
Do you think the measurements would be the same if you substitute blueberries instead of blackberries? I have tons of blueberries to use. Thanks.

Yes, I think you could use blueberries, Susan. It may take more blueberries though. That is probably the only thing I would do different.
