Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray 2 9-inch round cake pans with cooking oil. Sprinkle with flour and tap out excess. In a medium bowl combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well between eggs. Stir in vanilla. Add about 1/3 of the flour mixture. Add lime juice and zest and mix well. Add half of the remaining flour mixture and buttermilk until incorporated. Add remaining flour mixture and mix well.
- Pour batter into prepared pans and bake 20-30 minutes, until and inserted toothpick comes out clean and cake springs back when touched. Allow to cool on wire racks. Loosen edges with a knife and invert cakes on a flat clean surface.
- For the frosting, whip cream and brown sugar until stiff peaks form. Stir in vanilla. Mash one cup of blackberries with a fork and mix into cream. Spread 1/3 of the frosting onto the top of one cake layer. Carefully place other cake on top. Use a rubber spatula to spread remaining frosting completely over the entire cake, coating top and sides well. Top with whole blackberries. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- Store covered, at room temperature, or chilled up to three days.
