Blackberry Crumble Cake (pics!)

How to make a blackberry crumble cake.

1) Notice The Pioneer Woman's blueberry crumb cake recipe, because you follow her on Facebook.
2) Go to visit your parents and sister.
3) Go out for a walk. Notice that there are bushes and bushes full of blackberries:
4) Discover that, luckily, your mother has a bag with her that you can use for collecting them:
5) Pick lots of berries.
6) Admire the other plants, too, not just the blackberries:
7) Get home, rinse them off, be amazed at how many you picked:
8) Amass ingredients. Allow pinching of a berry or two ... it's not like they're in short supply ...

9) Make cake!

10) Start making the crumb topping ... accidentally misread the amount of butter. (Americans. Seriously. Measuring butter in 'sticks')
Try to sort of 'crumble' it anyway. (This doesn't work)
Into the oven it goes ...
11) ... and out it comes. And we sample it :)
NOM!

12) Accept the adulation of all who eat it.

It was a good day.

Yes, yes it was :) our oven's working again now! (New element arrived this morning and Chris and I installed it - lots of unscrewing and rescrewing things, basically). So I can make another one soon :) with the blackberries Denise gave us ... only it might have to wait a little while because at the moment I want to make a BIG chocolate cake.
