"i've been making this cake for years and people request it now! Jell-O brand does not make blackberry, it's Royal brand that does. Royal can be found at some smaller stores, but i substitue half bla..." See moreck cherry, half black raspberry and it turns out just fine. the glaze should be cool and the cake not hot or it will be runny. it should look like the glaze on a donut. i use 2 loaf pans or 6 mini loaf pans instead, and leave out the nuts. mmmmm smells great!"

The second time i put a stick of butter, i cup of sugar and 1/4 cup of water in a pan an..." See mored boiled it until it thickened. Then i took it off the heat, let it cool for about 3 minutes and added a cup of blackberry wine. I left the cake in the pan and poured the glaze on the cake and in the pan. I also used half grape,half raspberry jello in place of the blackberry jello."
