Blackberry Cake

Blackberry Cake

2 cups sugar
1 cup butter
4 eggs
3 cups flour
1 tsp. cloves
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 cup fresh or frozen drained Blackberries

Cream sugar and butter together. Beat eggs and add to sugar/butter mixture. Combine flour, spices, baking powder and soda. Stir into wet ingredients, alternating with buttermilk. Carefully fold in berries. Bake at 350 degrees in 3 greased and floured 8 inch layer pans for 30 minutes. Cool on wire rack. Frost as desired.

Note: I usually just glaze this cake with Lemon Icing. Just mix confectioners sugar, lemon juice or extract, and milk to Icing consistency.
