RUSTIC BLACKBERRY CAKE ๐๐ธ๐
Hello my Dearest Foodies,
The Birthday celebration continues with a cake I made for my daughter whose BD is tomorrow. Well, it was actually for both of us; because we spent my BD together and we ate half of it with the boys. She just took some home and I kept the rest to take the final photos. And now I am eating the last piece, yummmmmmy, lol.
It was truly delicious, although I had some unforeseen problem while I was taking it out of the form, which got stuck and I couldnโt open it all the way. I had to force the cake out and thatโs why the edge is little bit messed up. This never happened to me before, but this is a new cake form, made of different material then my other ones. I guess the type of metal is not very good being frozen.
The other thing that didnโt quite turn out as I wanted, were the layers. As you may see on one of the photos, one half of the slice is darker than the other, but it is barely noticeable. Well, I was hoping they would be more noticeable, but I wasnโt sure about the ratio of the berries and I added too much for the first layer. This is why I did not include that in the list of ingredients, but you can try if you like. The amount I added was ยฝ cup to 1/2 of the cashew filling, but I should have used only ยผ cup. So itโs really up to you if you would like to try making it with layered or just one. However, the most important is the scrumptious taste and smooth almost mouse like texture.

Lovely mummy, you made an amazing cake and not only that it is an healthy cake. Cake with a blackberry. Blackberry are loaded with vitamin C (a 100g serving has 23 mg or 35 percent of the recommended daily allowance or RDA), but are low in calories (only 43 calories per 100g serving) and sodium. They are an excellent source of both soluble and insoluble fiber.
Yes they are, thank you so much :)
