I left out the nuts. The cake is nice and moist and has a lovely pink color to it. Perfect for a tea party, bridal shower or book club event. Instead of pouring the second half of the icing over the cake, I brushed it on with a pastry brush every 15 minutes until it was all gone. This resulted in beautifully laquered look.

I halved the butter for the glaze. I found red raspberry/blackberry Jello brand gelatin, so I used that. I made this cake for my family Thanksgiving gathering. Everyone said it was good, but maybe could have used more glaze because it wasn't evenly moist, and the moister parts were better. I personally think it had a funny aftertaste, but I would like to experiment with the recipe. Maybe next time I'll try orange gelatin and orange juice.

For those having trouble with the glaze, I recommend leaving out the butter.

Well, turned into a pretty yummy mistake. followed other reviewers tips on a successful glaze and everyone liked!

The cake came out great. Before I made this I asked several people and they suggested going for the alternative glaze recipe as shown on this website "Blackberry Wine Cake II". Those two combinations makes a good Blackberry Wine Cake!

Since blackberry jello is no longer available, I use 1/3 C of blackberry JELLY instead, and it works really great. This glaze is whack, though. I just dust with powdered sugar instead and serve with blackberries and heavy whipped cream.

The cake tasted great, would have been 5 star if not for the glaze!I made the recipe glaze the first time-BLAH! The second time i put a stick of butter, i cup of sugar and 1/4 cup of water in a pan and 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.

Delicious! I could not find blackberry jello so I subbed raspberry. We were given some homemade blackberry wine so this was a perfect recipe to try out. Made this for hubby and he loved it. I did not make the glaze instead just tossing the blackberries in sugar and placing on top. Thanks.

The reason I am giving this recipe a low rating is because the blackberry gelatin is impossible to find. I even called Kraft Foods and they told me it had been discontinued. Does anyone out there have a good substitute they have tried in this recipe? Sounds great and I would love to make it!

YES!!! to the cake NO!!! to the glaze. Done exactly as the recipe indicated, it would NOT incorporate. I had to put the it on top the stove and heat it to get the butter to work into it. Then the whole lot was WAAAAY to liquid (even after cooling for hours) so I had to add at least a cup more powdered sugar. If it were to make this again, I'd start the glaze by creaming the (soft) butter and sugar first. THEN adding only as much wine as necessary to make a good consistency. I couldn't find blackberry wine or Jello so I made a raspberry version. Good taste!

I had my doubts about this one, but I had all of the ingredients (except I used black cherry gelatin). Turned out very good, and went over well at the office. I did have trouble blending the glaze, and found warming the wine first helped melt the butter.

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 black 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!
