BLACKBERRY CAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment, beat 6 large eggs 1 min on high speed. With the mixer on, gradually add 1 cup sugar and continue beating 8-10 min until thick and fluffy.
• Whisk together 1 cup flour and 1/2 tsp baking powder then sift this mixture into fluffy egg mixture one third at a time. Fold with a spatula with each addition just until incorporated. Scrape spatula from the bottom to catch any pockets of flour and stop mixing when no streaks of flour remain. Do not over-mix or you will deflate the batter.
• Divide evenly between prepared cake pans and bake at 350˚F for 23-28 minutes (my oven took 25 min), or until top is golden brown. Remove from pan by sliding a thin spatula around the edges then transfer to a wire rack and remove parchment backing. Cool cakes to room temp then slice layers equally in half with a serrated knife.
• Combine 2 Tbsp lemon juice with 1 cup blackberries in small saucepan. Simmer 6-7 minutes or until berries easily mash up with a fork then turn off heat. Strain through a fine mesh strainer, pushing the blackberries through with a spatula until only seeds are left in strainer. Discard seeds and set the puree aside to cool completely to room temp (you should get 5 Tbsp puree).
• In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment, cream together 3 sticks butter, 3 cups powdered sugar and 1/2 tsp salt on low speed until combined, scraping as necessary. Increase speed to medium-high and beat until white and fluffy (2 to 3 min).
• Add cream cheese 1-piece at a time and mix until combined then continue to beat 2 min until fluffy, scraping down the bowl as needed. With the mixer on, drizzle in blackberry syrup 1 Tbsp at a time then beat another minute.
• Slice 1 cup blackberries and set aside. Make your lemon syrup by combining 3/4 cup warm water, 1 Tbsp granulated sugar and 4 Tbsp Lemon Juice.
• Place first cake layer on serving platter cut-side up **. Brush with 1/4 of the lemon syrup. Spread frosting over the top and layer with 1/3 sliced berries. Repeat with remaining layers placing the final layer cut-side-down, then frost the top and sides.
• Pipe remaining frosting onto cake. For the roses, use a closed star Wilton 2D tip. Decorate with remaining blackberries and sprinkle sugar crystals if desired.

BLACKBERRY CHOCOLATE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit. Line 3 5- or 6-inch cake pans with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
• Mix cake mix, eggs, oil and milk together in a large bowl, mixing until combined.
• Divide the batter between the prepared pans and bake 27-32 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool 10 minutes, then remove cakes from pans to a cooling rack to cool completely.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer, beat the butter on medium speed for 1-2 minutes or until smooth and nearly white in appearance.
• Add the powdered sugar one cup at a time, making sure to mix well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• Add the cocoa powder and mix until fully combined.
• Add the heavy whipping cream, jam, vanilla extract, salt and a few drops of food coloring and mix on medium speed until fully combined, making sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
• Spoon some frosting into a piping bag or zipper bag and set aside for decorating.
• Trim the domed tops off the cakes as needed. Place one layer of cake on a cake plate.
• Using the buttercream in the bag, pipe a ring of buttercream around the edge of the bottom cake layer. Spread ½ of the jam inside the ring and spread evenly. Pipe a bit more buttercream on top of the jam and smooth out.
• Top with the second layer of cake, then repeat the process.
• Spread a thin crumb coat layer of buttercream over the entire cake, smoothing it out as best as possible.
• Freeze the cake for 30 minutes before applying a second layer of buttercream to cover the cake.
