1 1/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons sugar, divided

Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 3 quart baking dish with butter. Place the stick of butter in a microwave safe dish. Heat in microwave for 30 to 45 seconds, until melted.

Sprinkle the blackberries evenly over the top of the batter. Sprinkle 1/4 cup sugar over the blackberries. Bake for 1 hour or until golden brown and bubbly. When 10 minutes of cooking time remain, sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar over the top. Serve it by the spoonful. Top with whipped cream or ice cream... or both.
