EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Dripping with the juicy, sweet flavor of blackberries, this glorious coffee cake is a great make-ahead treat. Wrap it tightly, and tuck it away in your freezer for up to 2 months to serve when unexpected guests drop by.

For an extra-nutty crunch, sprinkle some chopped toasted pecans over the glazed cake.

I used blackberries that I had frozen from last summer, picked from my parents' blackberry bushes. I made this for work and it was a huge hit. Everyone wanted the recipe. Instead of the powdered sugar glaze, I put some lemon frosting in a squeeze bottle and drizzled it over the cake. The lemon frosting with the blackberries was a perfect combination.
