- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup blackberry puree fresh or frozen
- 2 teaspoons baking powder

Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Cream the butter and sugar together in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the blackberry puree and vanilla extract.
Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in another bowl.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk.

Cool the cakes in the pans for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
