Ingredients

Cake:

  • 3 tablespoons milk

  • 1 teaspoon vinegar

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • ¾ cup butter, softened

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom

  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves

  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

Icing:

  • 1 (16 ounce) package confectioners' sugar

  • ½ cup butter, softened

  • ½ cup mashed blackberries

  • 2 tablespoons milk

  • ½ cup shredded coconut

  • ½ cup chopped pecans

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch cake pan.

  2. Stir milk and vinegar together in a small bowl; set aside to sour for 5 minutes.

  3. Beat white sugar and 3/4 cup butter together in a bowl using an electric mixer until creamy and smooth; beat in eggs, soured milk, baking soda, cardamom, cloves, and nutmeg. Gradually stir in flour until just incorporated. Fold in 1 cup blackberries. Pour batter into the prepared pan.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 25 to 35 minutes. Allow cake to cool.

  5. Beat confectioners' sugar and 1/2 cup butter together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy; mix in 1/2 cup blackberries and milk until frosting is desired thickness. Spread icing on the cooled cake; sprinkle with coconut and pecans.
