LOVE this cake! If you can't find Blacberry gelatin, I have used raspberry with great success. I also recommend the French Vanilla cake mix. I pour 1/2 of the glaze over the cake while it is cooling in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, I invert it onto my cake plate and spoon over the top the remaining glaze. This gives you a moist cake on the top and bottom. Definitely a crowd pleaser, and one my family has enjoyed for years.

Very good cake but a little too sweet for me! Next time I think I would just dust with confectioners sugar instead of adding the glaze.

The cake itself was really good. It was super moist and had a great flavor. The glaze was way too much. Thankfully, I only used 1/2 of what the recipe calls for, then I dusted the top with powdered sugar. Awesome!

This a wonderfully moist cake. I made this Chaucer's Olallieberry wine and it was great. I didn't make the glaze but made a blackberry sauce instead (blackberries, more wine & sugar. My girlfriends think it is the best I've made so far. I can't wait to make it again.

This was a very tasty, moist cake and was a hit at a recent picnic. Good news for those who have a hard time finding blackberry gelatin, Jello brand has started selling a "Blackberry Fusion" flavor (Summer '07) which is a mix of blackberry and raspberry. I used that and it turned out great! None of the stores in our area sell the Royal brand of gelatin so I was very happy to see Jello's new flavor. After reading many negative reviews for the glaze I opted to brush the warm cake with warmed blackberry preserves, which added a nice flavor. Thanks for the delicious recipe!

This was a great cake!! It was impossible to find the Blackberry Gelatin, so I used the Black Rasberry Gelatin and it blended right in. In the future, (or in season) I would like to try it with some fresh Blackberrys in the glaze. It was a big hit at work!

Not being able to fine balckberry jello anywhere (I'm not sure they even make it anymore), I used 1/3 C of Blackberry JELLY instead, and it was awesome! I never did get the glaze to turn out right, so I just dusted it with powdered sugar instead. Great and easy and smells incredible.

This actually was very good but the smell turned me off. Not being able to find blackberry jello, I used grape. It was okay, but the next time someone leaves me some blackberry wine, I'll try lemon jello.

This is a great departure from the everyday chocolate or vanilla cake. It is a flavor that many folks are not used to, but everyone I know loves this cake. Easy to make too.

Mine stuck so badly to my Nordicware non-stick bundt pan (which I had sprayed with Pam), that I could only get it out by digging with a spoon. What I could get out tasted very, very good but I'm very sad that I didn't get a nice cake out of it. I highly recommend greasing and flouring your pan even if yours is non-stick like mine. Great taste! Can't wait to try it again!

My motherin-law made this over the holidays. She got the recipe from a cookbook in North Carolina. This is my new favorite cake! So easy and so good. She used Royal Blackberry Gelatin, available at Winn Dixie stores. I love it. So glad you have this recipe posted!

I could not find Blackberry gelatin so I used cranberry / raspberry one. It came out nice and red for the holidays and very very sweet.
