Meanwhile, season pork with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium high. Add half the pork and cook until golden brown and cooked through, flipping once, about 8 minutes. Repeat with remaining 1 tablespoon butter and pork. Serve pork topped with chutney.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, using a mixer, beat 6 tablespoons butter and sugar on high until light and fluffy, about 6 minutes. Beat in eggs, vanilla, and zest until combined. With mixer on low, add flour mixture in 2 additions, alternating with milk, and beat until combined.
In a 10-inch skillet, melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter over medium. Add brown sugar and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Remove from heat and arrange blackberries evenly in skillet.
Pour batter over berries and smooth top. Bake until cake is deep golden brown and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes, rotating halfway through. Let cake cool in skillet on a wire rack 5 minutes. Run a knife around edge and carefully invert cake onto a serving plate. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Cook's note: The blackberries soften in a layer of caramelized brown sugar to create a sweet, jam-like topping on this cake.
Serves 4
