Name: Blackberry Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 box (18.25 Oz. Box) Moist Yellow Cake Mix; 4 whole Large Eggs; 1 box (small Box, 3 Oz.) Raspberry Or Blackberry Jello; 1/2 cups Oil; 1/2 cups Water; 14 ounces, weight (or 2/3 Of A 21 Oz. Can) Blackberry Pie Filling; 1/2 cups Softened Butter; 1/2 cups Softened Cream Cheese; 1 teaspoon Vanilla; 1 pound Confectioners Sugar

Servings: persons

1
Preheat oven to 325 or 350 degrees. My oven bakes fast, so I bake at 325 degrees.
2
Mix cake mix, eggs, jello, oil and water in a large bowl until well blended. Gradually, stir in the pie filling. Pour into two greased and floured 9-in. pans or one 13x9 pan. Bake for 30 minutes. You can watch the cake, the baking time may vary just a little. I usually insert a toothpick until it comes out clean. Allow cake to cool!
3
Cream Cheese Frosting:
4
Beat softened cream cheese and softened butter until smooth. Add the vanilla to the mixture and blend. Gradually beat in confectioner's sugar. If the mixture is too thick, just add a little milk.
5
To assemble the cake, layer the two 9-inch cakes and frost between layers, top, and sides or just spread all the frosting on the 13x9 cake. Layers are best though!
6
Note: if you open a 21 oz. can of filling for this, sorry, but you don't use the remaining 1/3 can of filling. However, my mom usually bakes 3 cakes at one time. Two cans will produce three cakes.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
