5
Pour the batter in two 8×2 greased and floured round cake pans.
6
Bake at 350 degrees F for about ⏱️ 40 minutes or until an inserted toothpick in the center comes out clean.
7
Allow cakes to cool to room temperature and then cover them in saran wrap and freeze them.
8
When you are ready to assemble, remove cakes from the freezer and allow them to sit at room temperature for ⏱️ 15-20 minutes. Then, peel off the wax paper from the bottom of the cakes.
9
Use a serrated knife to remove the domes and trim the sides of the cake.
10
Place one cake on a cake stand or a serving dish.
11
Fill a piping bag with yellow frosting and attach Tip 1M.
12
Pipe a dam around the top of the cake. You can now fill the center of that dam with jam, if you like or you can just frost the inside in buttercream icing too (like I did).
13
Place a few blackberries evenly around the top of all that buttercream.

Press the top of your cake gently so that the 2 layers of cake stick together. Don't press too hard or else the icing and blackberries will shift and make a mess.
