GRANDMA'S BLACKBERRY CAKE

Grandma's Blackberry Cake image

I remember going berry picking with Mom and Grandma. Even at 70 years old, Grandma could pick 3 gallons of berries before I had my pail half full. Grandma made up this blackberry cake recipe with her mom, and it's been passed down for five generations now. -Diana Martin, Moundsville, West Virginia

Ingredients

2 cups white sugar
¾ cup solid vegetable shortening (such as Crisco®)
2 eggs

3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 cups blackberries, drained

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Beat white sugar and shortening together in a bowl using an electric mixer until creamy; add eggs and mix well. Mix cinnamon, cloves, and vanilla extract into creamed butter mixture.
Whisk buttermilk and baking soda together in a separate bowl; stir into creamed butter mixture until thoroughly mixed. Slowly stir flour into butter-buttermilk mixture until batter is smooth; fold in blackberries. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.

GRANDMA DONNIE'S BLUEBERRY COFFEE CAKE

A family recipe for at least 60 years, likely taken from the newspaper. Moist and loaded with blueberries. There is never any left over. Give it a try!

Provided by Allrecipes

Time 1h

Yield 9

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup white sugar
¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
½ cup milk
2 cups frozen blueberries
1 tablespoon white sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Butter a 9x9-inch cake pan.
Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Cream sugar, butter, and vanilla together in another bowl. Add egg and beat well.
Using a wooden spoon, stir in dry ingredients in 3 additions alternately with the milk (ending with dry) just until flour is incorporated. Do not overbeat. Fold in blueberries. Turn into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly with a spatula. Frozen blueberries make dough very stiff, so pressing with moistened fingertips works better for me. Combine 1 tablespoon sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl; sprinkle on top of batter.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes.

Tips:

Fresh blackberries are the best choice for this recipe, but frozen blackberries can also be used. If using frozen blackberries, thaw them completely before using.
To make sure the cake is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
For a richer cake, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
To make the cake even more special, top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
