Ingredients

Scale
  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ cups granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup neutral oil (like canola)
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or milk with vinegar)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup strained blackberry purée
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together oil and sugar. Add eggs, buttermilk, blackberry purée, and vanilla; mix until smooth.
  4. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients; fold gently until just combined.
  5. Pour batter evenly into prepared pans and bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Cool in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
  7. For the filling, whip cream cheese until smooth; gradually add heavy cream and powdered sugar while mixing until stiff peaks form.
  8. Assemble by layering one cake upside down on a platter, spreading half of the cream filling over it, then placing the second layer on top and frosting with remaining filling.
