  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh blackberries

Instructions

  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove them from the pans and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
  9. Whip the cream with the powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
  10. Once the cakes are completely cool, spread the whipped cream between the layers and on top of the cake.
  11. Garnish with additional blackberries if desired and serve.
