Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 cups Fresh Blackberries (or frozen, thawed and drained)
  • 2 cups Granulated Sugar (divided)
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour (or 1:1 gluten-free blend)
  • 1 tbsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter (or vegan butter)
  • 3 Large Eggs (or flax egg for egg-free)
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Zest (optional)
  • 1 cup Buttermilk (or milk with lemon juice)
  • 1/2 cup Blackberry Puree (strain out seeds)
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (or vegan butter)
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese (or coconut-based for dairy-free)
  • 4 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 1/3 cup Blackberry Puree
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 tsp Salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two round cake pans.
  2. In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream 1 cup of unsalted butter with 1.5 cups of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time and mix well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and lemon zest if using.
  5. Mix in the buttermilk and blackberry puree.
  6. Gradually add in the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined.
  7. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. In a bowl, beat 1/2 cup of unsalted butter and cream cheese together until smooth.
  10. Gradually add powdered sugar until well combined.
  11. Mix in 1/3 cup of blackberry puree, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat until fluffy and smooth.
