Categories     Cake     Chocolate     Dessert     Bake

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 Box Devil Food Cake Mix
Additional ingredients as indicated on the box (eggs, oil, et cetera)
1-2 Cups Blackberry Brandy
1/2-2 Lbs Chocolate Chips/morsels (I like milk chocolate, most people like semi-sweet), optional
1 Can of Chocolate frosting (I like fudge specifically)

Steps:

  • Prepare cake batter as indicated for the mix, except substitute blackberry brandy for all water and/or milk (alternately, if you want less of a "rum" cake style, substitute 50% blackberry brandy and 50% milk). Make sure your cake dish/mold is well greased and floured. Pour cake mix into your dish/mold (I like a standard Bundt ring, but it's immaterial). As you pour the mix, work in layers of chocolate chips/morsels as you go if using them. Note, the chips/morsels will sink as the cake cooks, so take this into account when setting up your layers (it's why we can't just mix them into the batter). Bake as per box directions, allow to cool, ice and serve. Tip #1: I freeze my cake before icing, it makes for a much sturdier surface. Tip #2: Just microwave the icing and pour. This creates a thin icing shell which is perfect for this cake. The icing here is to cut down on evaporation and slow the process for the cake getting stale, not to be a primary component of the finished product. Remember, if doing this you're going to have lots of extra icing drip, so pour the icing over something other than the final serving plate, then cut the cake free and place on the serving plate.

I'm allergic to blackberries, but this cake looks so good that I might have to try it anyway.

Blackberry brandy cake sounds like the perfect dessert for a summer party. I'll have to give this recipe a try.

I'm not a big fan of brandy, but this cake was surprisingly delicious. The blackberries and the brandy glaze really complemented each other well.

This cake was a bit too dense for my liking, but the flavor was great. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I've tried many blackberry brandy cake recipes, but this one is by far the best. It's so easy to make and always turns out perfect. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the brandy glaze is the perfect finishing touch.

This blackberry brandy cake was a huge hit at my last dinner party. The moist, tender crumb and the sweet-tart flavor of the blackberries were a perfect combination. I'll definitely be making this cake again soon!
