Back in July and August our blackberries finally came into season. I made a lot of jam, jellies and desserts using fresh blackberries. I also spent some time freezing some of my berries, so that I could use them this fall.
This Blackberry Buttermilk Cake Recipe was given to me a few years ago, by a good friend of mine. You can use fresh or frozen blackberries to make this deliciously moist blackberry cake.
Tip: If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can try this cheater tip to make your own substitute. Fill up a glass measuring cup with milk so that it's just shy of the 1 cup line. Add in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and let it sit for approximately 5 minutes. Measure out what you need for your recipe and discard the rest.
Ingredients
1 cup blackberries (fresh or well-drained frozen berries) 2 cups all-purpose flour, divided 1/2 cup butter, softened (not margarine) 1 cup granulated sugar 2 eggs 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 1/4 teaspoon allspice 3/4 cup buttermilk
Toss blackberries with 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, set aside. In mixing bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar together and then add in the eggs. Beat the batter well. Combine baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, ground cloves, allspice and the remaining flour. Add this mixture to your creamed mixture, alternately with buttermilk. Fold in the blackberries.
Pour into a greased and floured 9" square baking pan. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 45-50 minutes or until cake is done. Cool on wire rack.
Serve with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream or a scoop of vanilla yogurt, if desired.

1 quart of burgundy cherry or vanilla ice cream (softened) 1 ¾ cups of all-purpose flour (unsifted) 2 eggs A cup of black coffee (strong) A cup of buttermilk ½ a cup of vegetable oil A teaspoon of vanilla extract 3 cups of whipped cream A cup of cherry pie filling 2 cups of sugar (granulated) ¾ cup of Hershey's cocoa 2 teaspoons of baking soda A teaspoon of baking powder A teaspoon of salt
Instructions
To begin, put the ice cream into a 9 inch round pan that has been lined with foil. Now cover and let it freeze for about 2 hours.
Next heat the oven to a temperature of 350 degrees. While that is being done, take two round cake pans measuring 9 inches and grease and flour them.
Now mix the cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt in a large mixing bowl. Next add the other ingredients such as the eggs, coffee, oil, buttermilk and vanilla extract. Once that is done beat the ingredients for about 2 minutes, i.e. until the batter turns thin.
Once you have attained the required consistency, pour the batter into the cake pans and let it bake for about 30 to 35 minutes.
Use a cake tester to ensure that it is well cooked. When it is ready, let it cool for about 10 minutes and then remove from the pan and let it cool some more.
When you have completed all the above steps take one cake and place it layer upside down on a plate. Now take the frozen ice cream and place it on the top. Now take the second cake and place it top side up over the layer of ice cream. Then take some whipped cream and spread it gently on the top as well as the sides of the cake.
Next take a decorator's tube or spoon and use it to make a border of whipped cream around the edge of the top layer of the cake. With that done, take the cherry pie filling and fill the center. Put the cake into the fridge and let it freeze for at least an hour before you serve it. Yum!

The answer is that it all depends upon who is making it. Where did this cake come from? There is one story, which I leave you to decide whether authentic or not, that it was made at the request of a guest at the Waldorf Astoria for a guest. They made the cake and charged her $100 for the privilege of receiving the recipe. In revenge, she passed it out to anyone who would take it.
The Waldorf version is said to use beets for color. Nowadays, it is made all over the place, but especially in the South. Some of the attraction is at least the slightly unusual ingredients. One theory is that the red food coloring was added when Dutch cocoa began to be used, as this has an alkali added so is less likely to produce the traditional mahogany red.
A quick search reveals there are a number of variations on the theme. Usually these include a cream cheese or cooked frosted icing, but for a less rich version, a simple drizzle of glace icing works as does just a sprinkle of icing sugar. Try doing this through a doily which, if you remove it extremely carefully, will leave a beautiful pattern.
1/2 cup of low fat spread
1 1/2 cups of granulated or Castor sugar
2 eggs
2 tablespoons of cocoa powder ( drinking chocolate is a little too sweet).
2 teaspoons of red food coloring
1 teaspoon of salt
2 1/2 cups of cake flour or self raising flour
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 cup of buttermilk or plain yogurt
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 tablespoon of vinegar
Cream the sugar and low fat spread. Separate the eggs and beat the yolks. Incorporate them into the creamed mixture. Sieve the cocoa and mix with the food coloring before adding to this mixture together with the vanilla.
Add the salt to the flour and mix this in alternately with the buttermilk or yogurt.
Beat the egg whites to a fluff and fold this in to make a light mixture. Mix baking soda with vinegar and mix this in stirring well.
Bake in 2, 9 inch pans for 30 minutes at 350F, 190C, Gas 5. If you use smaller pans, you will need 3 and a slightly shorter cooking time. Allow to cool and then fill and glaze as you like. Strawberry or apricot preserves are good.
A fluffy topping can be made by combining ingredients in a double boiler and beating as it cooks. You will need :-
The whites of 2 eggs,1 1/2 cups of icing sugar, pinch of salt, 1/3 cup water, 2 teaspoons light corn syrup. Cook this mixture for about 7 minutes, stirring all the time and then mix in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Let it cool before using. The result has been described by one writer as 'the Dolly Parton' of cakes. Well it is certainly a star - it even featured in the film 'Steel Magnolias' although there it was armadillo shape and had grey icing. It probably tasted just as indulgent nevertheless.
Variations
Other recipes use the eggs whole rather than separated. Almost all versions include cocoa which contains anthocyanin, a natural coloring which appears redder in the presence of acid, hence the vinegar. One recipe unbelievably uses half a bottle of coloring - which I think is a bit over the top - but then it is that sort of cake.
