How to make?

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup butter, softened

2 cups white sugar

4 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups fresh blackberries, mashed or pureed

Cream Cheese Frosting:

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup butter, softened

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

Using a blender , food processor , or immersion blender , purée blackberries until totally smooth. If seeds bother you, the purée can be strained using a fine-mesh sieve; if you do plan to strain, add a couple extra blackberries to make up for the loss. Measure out exactly 6 ounces fresh blackberry purée and bring to about 70 degrees F before using.
