Ingredients
Method
Bake the Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, eggs, water, and vegetable oil. Beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes or until well combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Poke the Cake
- Once the cake is baked and has cooled for about 10 minutes, grab a fork and poke holes in the cake about an inch apart.
- Make sure those holes are deep enough to hold all the delicious cream filling.
Prepare the Filling
- While the cake cools, gently mash the fresh blackberries with a fork until juicy but not pureed.
- Pour the mashed berries into the holes of the poke cake, spreading them evenly.
Make the Topping
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until it begins to thicken.
- Gradually add in the melted white chocolate and powdered sugar, continuing to whip until soft peaks form.
- Be careful not to overbeat, or you might end up with butter instead of cream!
Frost the Cake
- Spread the luxurious white chocolate whipped cream over the poke cake, ensuring you cover all the blackberry holes.
- Create a dreamy topping.
Chill and Serve
- Cover the cake and refrigerate for at least an hour.
- Just before serving, garnish with fresh blackberries.
Notes
Make it Ahead: This cake can be made a day in advance! Store it covered in the fridge. Don’t Fear the Berries: Tart blackberries balance the sweetness perfectly. Get Creative: Swap out blackberries for strawberries or raspberries if desired.
