Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 2h50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

3/4 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch fine salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for buttering the pan
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups fresh blackberries

Steps:

  • Combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in a small bowl and mix to combine. Add the butter and mix thoroughly with your fingers or a fork until all of the butter has been evenly distributed and incorporated into the flour. Form into small to medium clumps with your fingers.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8-inch square cake pan.
  • Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a medium bowl.
  • Beat the butter and granulated sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla. Reduce the speed to low and add the flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the flour, beating until just incorporated.
  • Spoon half of the cake batter (it will be very thick) into the prepared pan and smooth with an offset spatula. Sprinkle the blackberries on top. Spoon the remaining cake batter on top and smooth the top. Sprinkle on the crumb topping.
  • Bake until the cake and topping are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let cool in the pan 20 minutes, then invert onto a plate, re-invert onto a rack to cool completely.

Yield Serves 18-22

Number Of Ingredients 26

Cake:
2 ½ cups sifted all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 ⅓ cups vegetable oil
1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
2 large eggs, room temperature
¼ cup strong coffee, hot
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 ounce liquid red food coloring
Blackberry Compote:
3 cups fresh blackberries
½ cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Pinch salt
1/4 teaspoon cornstarch
Cream Cheese Whipped Frosting:
2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, room temperature
¾ cup confectioners' sugar
1 cup heavy cream, cold
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch salt
1 cup fresh blackberries, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the cake:
  • Preheat your oven to 325°F. Liberally prepare 3 9-inch round cake pans with the nonstick method of your choice.
  • In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, add the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt and mix on low speed. Slowly add the oil and buttermilk.
  • Increase the speed to medium-low and add the eggs 1 at a time, combining well after each addition and scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Slowly add the coffee, vanilla extract, vinegar, and food coloring. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl and mix the batter until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Evenly pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for 20 to 27 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a layer comes out clean. Do not overbake.
  • Let the layers cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then invert onto wire racks. Let cool to room temperature. Lightly cover the cakes with foil or plastic wrap so they do not dry out.
  • For the blackberry compote:
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm the blackberries, granulated sugar, lime juice, and salt. Once the blackberries begin releasing their juices and the liquid begins to boil, after about 8 to 12 minutes, use a pastry cutter or fork to mash 1/2 of the berries. Leave the rest whole.
  • Stir in the cornstarch and continue to cook at a boil, allowing the juices to cook down and thicken. The compote is ready when the liquid coats and completely sticks to the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat. Let cool to room temperature.
  • For the frosting:
  • Clean your stand mixer bowl and whisk attachment. Beat the cream cheese on high speed until it begins to thicken and become fluffy.
  • Turn your mixer down to low speed and carefully add the confectioners' sugar. Once the sugar is fully incorporated, turn your mixer speed back up and continue whipping. Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Continue to whip until the frosting is smooth, light, and fluffy. Refrigerate the buttercream for 30 minutes to firm it up.
  • To assemble:
  • Once the layers are completely cooled, place 1 layer on a serving plate. Spread just the top with ⅓ of the frosting. Add ⅓ of the compote over the frosting. Using a butter knife or skewer, swirl the compote into the frosting. Add the second layer and spread with another ⅓ of the frosting. Add ⅓ of the compote, swirling the compote into the frosting again. Add the final layer, bottom-side up, and top with the remaining frosting. Add the rest of the compote and repeat the swirling process. Do not frost the side of the cake. Garnish with the whole blackberries. Serve at room temperature. Store in the refrigerator.

BLACKBERRY CREAM CAKE

Categories     Fruit Desserts

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 15

FILLING
4 c blackberries
1 c sugar
water to cover berries
CAKE
1 yellow cake mix
4 eggs ( 2 whole eggs and 2 yolks in batter. 2 egg whites whipped till stiff peaks)
1/2 c sugar
2 Tbsp sour cream
1/3 c oil
1/2 c water
TOPP[NG
1 qt heavy whipping cream
1 c powdered sugar
3 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare 3 8-9 inch cake pans.
  • 2. Filling: Put berries in pot, cover with water (just enough for berries to float)add sugar. Simmer on low for 20 min. or until juice is released, you don't want to cook the berries just get the juice from them. Cool completely.
  • 3. Cake:
  • 4. Mix 2 whole eggs and 2 yolks with oil, sour cream, and sugar Add cake mix and water. Mix for 2 min.
  • 5. Beat egg whites until stiff, fold into batter. Pour batter into pans. Bake 10-12 min or until done. DO NOT OVER BAKE ( it will dry the layers out )
  • 6. Topping: Pour cream into large bowl ( I put my bowl and beaters in the refrigerater so they are ice cold, your cream will whip faster if everything is cold.) Add sugar and vanilla beat until thick and has stiff peaks.
  • 7. STACKING the CAKE: Put 1st. layer on cake plate, poke holes in cake with a fork.
  • 8. Spoon blackberry juice over layer and cover with berries,( single layer of berries) Add 1/3 of whipped cream on top of berries, add next layer and do the same. Top layer I cover w/berries and juice but I only put the whipping cream around the edge so you can see the blackberries.
  • 9. This picture is of my cake after I went to move the cake to take a picture and tipped it and the top 2 layers went on the counter, lol Glad I had extra whipping cream.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use full-fat cream cheese and sour cream.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • To ensure the cake is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • For a smoother frosting, beat the butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy before adding the powdered sugar.
  • If you want a thicker frosting, add more powdered sugar. For a thinner frosting, add more milk.
  • To decorate the cake, you can use fresh blackberries, whipped cream, or chocolate shavings.

Conclusion:

This blackberry cream cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and fluffy, and the frosting is rich and creamy. The blackberries add a sweet and tart flavor that perfectly complements the other ingredients. Whether you're a seasoned baker or a beginner, you'll love this recipe.
