Instructions

  1. Prepare Cake Layers: Cool layers completely and level if needed.
  2. Apply Cream Cheese Swirl: Spread swirl evenly over one layer.
  3. Stack Layers: Gently place second layer on top.
  4. Craft Blackberry Glaze: Combine glaze ingredients in a saucepan.
  5. Simmer and Thicken Glaze: Simmer, whisking, until thickened.
  6. Glaze Cake: Drizzle warm glaze over the cake.
  7. Create Drip Effect: Tilt to encourage drips.

Notes

For a smoother blackberry puree, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds. Baking the cake layers a day ahead is possible, but assemble and glaze on the day of serving for optimal freshness.
