Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

Prepare the Oven

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Mix Dry Ingredients

In another bowl, cream the unsalted butter until smooth. Gradually add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then add vanilla extract and mix until combined.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Pour half of the base mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Then, add the blackberry filling on top, followed by the remaining base mixture.

Layer the Mixture

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Bake

In a clean bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then continue to beat until stiff peaks form.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Create a well in the center of the flour and crack the eggs into the well. Using a fork, beat the eggs gently and gradually incorporate the flour until a rough dough forms.

Make the Dough

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.

Knead the Dough

After resting, divide the dough into four pieces. Roll out each piece using a pasta machine or a rolling pin until it reaches your desired thickness, usually about 1/16 inch.

Roll Out the Dough

Cut the rolled-out dough into your preferred shape (tagliatelle, fettuccine, etc.) and sprinkle with a little flour to prevent sticking.

Cut the Pasta

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they begin to soften and burst. Stir occasionally.

Add salt and black pepper to the tomato mixture, stirring to combine. Fold in the fresh basil leaves and cook for another minute.

Season the Sauce

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until al dente, about 2-4 minutes depending on the thickness. Drain the pasta and add it directly to the skillet with the sauce. Toss to combine thoroughly.

Serve the pasta hot, garnished with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and additional fresh basil if desired.
