Excellent cake! Mine did not cave in (and I’m really bad at baking – if it is possible to ruin it, I will). We had company over and everyone loved it! The blackberries are a perfect blend with the amazingly simple cake. I also used sodarnhappy’s buttercream and it was phenomenal.
Mine did stick to the pan (only some the blackberries) but they came out much better from my more expensive pans than the old crappy one. Also, it was a good excuse to eat the cake that stuck to the pan right away! It is SO good straight out of the oven, no icing.

I made this cake for a baby shower and it was wonderful! I only did two layers so the cook time was increased significantly. The cake was a lot like a pound cake; very dense. I thought the fruit worked beautifully on the bottom of the cake pans. Delicious!

This cake was decent but it caved in the middle. Also, as much as I greased the cake pan–it stuck to the cake. If I make this again–I will mix in the berries in the batter and then bake it that way. I’d also increase the pudding powder. I could barely taste the lemon in it.
This wasn’t anything I’d make regularly to serve.

I just made this cake, I’m waiting for it to cool right now so I can frost it… I got to tast a bit of it that stuck to the bottom (just a little bit) and it was DELICIOUS! I think my pans were actually 9 inch so it seems like I should’ve used more berries, it didn’t fill the bottom of the pan like her blog shows, but I think it’ll still do the job! I’m looking for a buttercream frosting recipe right now so I can get it frosted. I’ll be back to review tonight after my my daughter’s birthday party!

When my youngest son turned one we had recently moved to Oregon from So Cal and were enamoured with blackberries so we made a blackberry pie for his birthday. As you can imagine he was covered in the stuff and it becam part of the family lore. He turned 17 yesterday and I made your cake to pay homage to the blackberry legacy …and butter :). It got the seal of approval at my house. It’s going in the recipe box.

My husband planted blackberry bushes last year….now I’m hoping that I’ll get enough berries next year to make this cake! It looks delicious!
