Updated on Jul 31, 2011

One of my daughters coworkers whom is like an adopted son to me asked me if i would make him a cake for his 21st birthday. I gave him a choice of three types and this is what he chose. The cake is wonderful and he passed a slice to everyone at work and even the ups delivery guy lol. (who btw told my daughter that i will now have a stalker because of my amazing cake lol) Anyway it has become well loved by both family and friends, not to mention random delivery guys ; )

    Mix on low speed until moistened, then on medium speed for about 2 minutes or until all is blended.
  • Step 5
    Pour batter into 2 greased and floured pans, then arrange blackberries on top of both pans of batter. (Berries will sink to bottom while baking.)
