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...

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.

GRANDMA'S BLACKBERRY PIE

I know apples in a blackberry pie seem a little weird but my grandma swears they soak up the juice and now I can't enjoy a blackberry pie without them.

Time 2h10m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 egg
1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
¾ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
7 tablespoons ice water, plus more as needed
6 cups fresh blackberries
1 apple, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch thick slices
½ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon white sugar

Steps:

  • Beat the egg and vinegar together in a small bowl, and set aside. Whisk together the flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut in the cold butter with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (This can also be done in a food processor: pulse the cold butter or shortening until it's the size of small peas. Turn mixture into a bowl and proceed.) Stir in the egg and vinegar mixture. Add the ice water a tablespoon at a time, tossing with a fork, until the flour mixture is moistened. Do not add more water than you need: when you squeeze a handful of the moistened pastry mixture, it should form a ball. Divide the dough in half and shape into balls. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to three days.
  • Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Roll one ball out to fit a 9 inch pie plate. Place bottom crust in pie plate and chill for at least 20 minutes before baking. Roll out top crust and set aside. Arrange the apple slices on the bottom of the pie crust, then scatter the blackberries on top. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup sugar. Place the second pie crust on top of the fruit mixture, and pinch the top and bottom crusts together. Lightly sprinkle the top crust with water, followed by the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar. Poke several holes in the top of the crust with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes.
