Ingredients
  

Cake

  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon  vinegar
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • ¾  cup butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup mashed blackberries

Icing

  • 1 (16 ounce) package confectioners' sugar
  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • ½ cup  mashed blackberries
  • tablespoons  milk
  • ½ cup shredded coconut
  • ½ cup chopped pecans

Instructions
 

  • Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F and then grease a 9-inch cake pan.
  • Begin by combining milk and vinegar in a small bowl, then allow it to sour for 5 minutes.
  • Start by beating 3/4 cup of butter with white sugar until creamy. Then, blend in eggs, soured milk, baking soda, cardamom, cloves, nutmeg, and flour. Gently fold in 1 cup of blackberries before pouring the batter into the prepared pan.
  • Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 25-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Afterward, allow the cake to cool.
  • Using an electric mixer, blend 1/2 cup of butter with confectioners' sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Then, incorporate 1/2 cup of blackberries and milk until you achieve your desired frosting consistency. Finally, generously apply this frosting to your cooled cake and garnish it with coconut and pecans.
