How about a nice spring cake? This is a delicious Blackberry Daiquiri Cake and I’m sharing the recipe!! Soft and moist cake made with citrus flavors, filled with homemade blackberry jam and topped with cream cheese frosting.

Every year, I make my mom’s birthday cake. Once every 4 years, her birthday falls on Mother’s Day. This year was one of those years. I took my baby sister for the weekend so that we can work on the cake together. She learned a lot and we had a lot of fun.
 
I found this great recipe for Blackberry Daiquiri cupcakes in my new issue of Cuisine at Home magazine. I thought it would be a great flavor for mom’s cake. I converted the cupcakes into cake and changed the frosting. It turned out so good! I would have to say that it’s one of the best cakes I’ve ever made!
 
*Since I don’t keep jam at home, mainly because we never eat toast or PB&J, I decided to make my own jam. If you don’t feel like making your own, feel free to get some jam at the store. If you do want to make your own, do it the DAY BEFORE you are planning on making the cake. *
