This is a delicious cake. You can really taste the blackberries and not a bunch of sugar! Yum....

This turned out so yummy! I didn't have all of the spices, so I used cinnamon and allspice. I added about 1/4 cup brown sugar and a tablespoon or so of lemon juice as well. I didn't have buttermilk either, so I added a table spoon or so of lemon juice to the 3/4 cups milk until the milk soured instead. I only have round cake pans, so I baked it in a bundt pan for 35 minutes. This is such a perfect coffee cake, the taste of the cake is subtle so the berries really pop. I served the cake with a dusting of confectioners sugar and whipped cream

Although all the blackberries sunk to the bottom, this turned out really nice. Great with a blob of whipped cream, and a steaming hot cup of tea. Thanks!

This cake wasn't difficult at all to put together. I didn't have allspice, so I omitted it from the recipe. I cut back on the spice just a bit, just to not overpower the younger kids and the husband. This cake smells wonderful when baking. Fruity and spicy. I want to try it again once it's cooled to give a more honest assessment. This is a tasty cake, let me tell you.

This recipe is great! I added to it by sprinkling raw sugar and cinnamon on top before baking, but not sure it was absolutely needed. I also baked in an 8" pan...so increased the temperature to 375 for the first 25 minutes. Perfectly moist, yet springy to keep the thickness! YUM!

Very good, like a solid coffee cake. Definitely not overly-sweet, but I liked it that way, and with a dollop of unsweetened, freshly-whipped cream on top, it makes a fantastic weeknight dessert.

Very very good cake! I lost my recipe to a cake very similar to this cake and tried this one except the recipe I had include adding a cim./sugar mixture on the batter before cooking the cake. I would suggust doing this because this is not a sweet cake.
