Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prep 3 (9-inch) round cake pans by spraying them with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, water, lemon, oil, and eggs.
- Evenly divide the batter between the 3 prepped cake pans (about 545 grams per pan).
- Place into the preheated oven to bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with moist crumbs. Set aside to cool.
- Make the blackberry frosting by adding all of the frosting ingredients to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle or whisk attachment. Beat on high for 4 minutes.
- Once the cakes are cooled, remove from the pans. Place one cake layer on a plate or cake stand.
- Spread about ¼ cup of the frosting over the cake. Top with a second layer of cake and spread more frosting on it. Top with the last cake layer. Spread the remaining frosting on the top and around the sides of the cake.
- Top with lemon slices and blackberries if you so desire. Slice and serve!
Notes
- Storage: Store lemon blackberry cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
