Blackberry_Cake_wm

Oh yum! This is the most fabulous cake. I made several cakes and finally came up with a version that I LOVE enough to share. Enjoy!!

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups fresh blackberries
  • 1 pinch of cinnamon
  • 2 1/4 cups sugar (split)
  • 1 cup softened butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 4 eggs at room temperature
  • 3 cups self-rising flour 
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons lemon instant pudding mix
  • 1 cup of milk


Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°. Grease and lightly flour three round 8-inch cake pans and set aside. (I use baking spray with flour.)
2. Mix 1/4 of sugar, a pinch of cinnamon and blackberries in a bowl and set aside.
3. Combine flour, pudding mix and salt in a small mixing bowl.
4. Beat butter or margarine with a mixer at medium speed until it’s whipped and fluffy.
5. Add the remaining sugar (2 cups) and vanilla, beat well.
6. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
7. Add dry flour mixture and milk alternately, beating on low speed after each addition.
8. Place berries in cake pan.

11. Bake 25 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
12. Cool for 10 minutes before removing cake from pans.

    That looks delicious! I wonder if that could be made without the pudding mix? I don’t buy mixes around here. :-)

    Yes, it could be made without the mix. That was to add a little lemon flavor, but it will taste very good without:-)

    This cake is wonderful! I used pistachio pudding because I had it on hand and the hint of flavor it imparts was good, too. I like the idea of lemon and next time I’ll use that.

    Do you have a recommendation for the butter cream icing? I don’t see a link to it and would like to make this cake for my daughter’s birthday party this weekend!

    Do you think the cinnamon is a necessity? I’m allergic. Would it be okay to omit? Or substitute with nutmeg? Because this looks fabulous and I have to make it this summer!

    I’m going to make this cake today as soon as I pick up some blackberrys, but I always like it when cooks post the exact icing they use also…..keeps me from having to look one up. I know I have several buttercream recipes, but I would like to have yours. Your cake looks delicious. Thank you!!

    @Vicki Madden,

    I use this recipe:

    Sometimes I just buy the Pillsury Whipped Icing when I’m lazy. I think I used it for the cake pictured above and it was great:-)
