Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh blackberries
  • 1 cup heavy cream (for frosting)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for frosting)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the blackberries.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  9. For the frosting, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.
  10. Once the cakes are completely cool, spread frosting between the layers and on top of the cake.
  11. Decorate with additional blackberries if desired.

Notes

  • Ensure the blackberries are fresh and not overly ripe for the best flavor.
  • This cake can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
  • For a more intense flavor, consider adding blackberry puree to the frosting.
