I remember going berry picking with Mom and Grandma. Even at 70 years old, Grandma could pick 3 gallons of berries before I had my pail half full. Grandma made up this blackberry cake recipe with her mom, and it's been passed down for five generations now. -Diana Martin, Moundsville, West Virginia

GRANDMA'S BLACKBERRY CAKE



Grandma's Blackberry Cake image

This is a special cake my Grandmother made from fresh cream buttermilk, churned butter, freshly gathered eggs, and home made jam. It is rich and delicious, a family favorite, often made when blackberries were ripe and for holidays. Of course now we use ingredients from the grocery store. But if we have home made blackberry jam...

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 17

CAKE:
1 c butter, softened
2 c sugar
8 large eggs
2 tsp baking soda
2 Tbsp water
2 c blackberry jam, seedless jam is ok
3 1/2 c all purpose flour
1 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp ground nutmeg
1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1 c buttermilk
1 c chopped walnuts
OPTIONAL:
purchased or home made cream cheese frosting
a few fresh or frozen blackberries for garniush, optional

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a bundt cake pan and prepare a pan for 12 cupcakes. Set aside. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until each one is blended in. Dissolve the baking soda in the water and stir this mixture into the batter along with the blackberry jam.
  • 2. Combine the flour, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt. Stir into the batter by hand, alternating with the buttermilk. Fold in the walnuts. Divide the batter into the bundt pan and cupcakes. Bake in the preheated oven until the top of the cakes spring back when lightly touched, about 35 minutes. Cupcakes will be done before bundt pan.
  • 3. Set cupcakes on a wire rack to cool. Cool the cake in the bundt pan until warm to the touch, then invert the cake over a wire rack and remove pan to cool completely. If you wish you may frost with cream cheese frosting and (optional)garnish with more blackberry jam and fresh or frozen blackberries.
  • 4. If you like you may freeze this cake before frosting it. When you remove from freezer, let thaw before icing.

Tips:

  • Fresh blackberries: For the best flavor, use fresh blackberries when they are in season. If you can't find fresh blackberries, you can use frozen blackberries that have been thawed and drained.
  • Zest a lemon: To get the most flavor out of the lemon, zest it before juicing it. Zesting is the process of removing the outermost layer of the lemon peel, which contains the most flavor.
  • Creaming the butter and sugar: This step is important for creating a light and fluffy cake. Cream the butter and sugar together until they are light and fluffy, and then gradually add the eggs one at a time.
  • Folding in the egg whites: To keep the cake light and fluffy, fold in the egg whites gently until they are just combined. Do not overmix the batter.
  • Baking the cake: Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The cake should be golden brown on top.
  • Making the glaze: To make the glaze, simply combine the powdered sugar, milk, and lemon juice until smooth. You can adjust the consistency of the glaze by adding more or less milk.

Conclusion:

Grandma Norn's Unbelievable Blackberry Cake is a delicious and easy-to-make cake that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and fluffy, with a sweet and tangy blackberry flavor. The glaze adds a finishing touch that makes the cake irresistible. Whether you are a beginner baker or a seasoned pro, you will love this recipe.
