For Valentines Day I made the Chocolate Cake with Blackberry Buttercream , WOW ! that cake will make a train take a dirt road its that good !!!!! I did actually use Blackberry preserves i canned from fresh picked last summer , no real good Blackberries here right now , I used the preserves in the buttercream instead . I would tell anyone MAKE THIS CAKE ! you will be so happy !
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe .

This cake was incredible! It turned out perfectly and everyone raved about it! The blackberry buttercream has just the right balance of sweet and tart. I was working with a “Spider-Man” cake request, and the natural color of the blackberries made a great base for a red frosting! I can’t wait to make it again so I leave it the natural color though!

In reply to Regina Tsetseranos. Hi Regina, I love both equally so it really comes down to preference. Both will impress. Do you think the man you are making it for is more into different and unique flavors? If so, make the chocolate with blackberry. If he is more classic and plain, go with all chocolate. Basically you are just removing the seeds from the frosting when you sieve the puree so the buttercream is smooth at the end.

Hi there!
I read a bunch of recipes today while trying to find the best birthday cake to make for the man that I am very interested in.

I am definitely choosing one of your recipes but I am torn between the chocolate cake and the one with blackberry frosting. Which one do you think recommend? Also, how do you sieve the puree?? I have never done that. Any tips will be appreciated.

This recipe was such a joy to make, and it came out looking beautiful and tasting delicious!! The coffee/chocolate combo was just the right balance of flavor, and the texture of the cake was perrrrfect. I’ll definitely be making this one again. 🙂

I want to make a good chocolate cake that will be layered and decorated. I’m torn between this recipe and chocolate birthday cake recipe.

If you want to make a perfect chocolate bundt, I would actually recommend using this recipe instead that is calibrated for that and also has the perfect baking time so you don’t have to guess. https://grandbaby-cakes.com/ultimate-chocolate-pound-cake-with-peppermint-ganache-glaze/
