Directions Mamie's Blackberry Cake with Caramel Icing
Directions
-
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.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to a serving plate.
Combine brown sugar, evaporated milk, and butter in a saucepan, cook and stir mixture over medium heat until a small amount of brown sugar mixture dropped into cold water forms a soft ball. Remove saucepan from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Beat by hand until icing is thick. Spread icing quickly over top and sides of cake.
