Time 30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

One 16-ounce frozen pound cake, thawed
1 tablespoon salted butter
1 1/2 cups blackberries, halved, plus whole blackberries for garnish
3 tablespoons blackberry jam
Zest of 1 lemon plus juice of 1/2
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Fresh mint sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

  • Remove the pound cake from its pan and line the pan with plastic wrap, leaving plenty of overhang.
  • Slice the domed mound off the pound cake and set aside, then slice the remaining cake horizontally into 3 slices.
  • Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat. Crumble the cake mound into crumbs. Add to the pan and toast until golden brown all over, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Mix together the blackberries, blackberry jam, lemon zest and juice in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Combine the heavy cream and powdered sugar in a bowl. Whip until firm peaks form.
  • Place one layer of cake in the bottom of the lined pan and press to slightly flatten. Top with a third of the blackberry mixture and a third of the whipped cream. Repeat the process 2 more times, ending with whipped cream. Loosely cover with the overhanging plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 8 hours.
  • To serve, carefully lift the cake from the pan and remove the plastic wrap. Top with the toasted crumbs, a few blackberries and a sprig of mint, then slice and serve.
