Lemon Layer Cake with Blackberrie Cream Filling and a Lemon Cream Frosting.
Tangy Lemon Blackberry Cake is a moist lemon cake, loaded with fresh blackberries. In between each layer of cake is mascarpone whipped cream and a tangy lemon curd. To fill your cake, I suggest filling a piping bag full of the frosting and using that to pipe the layers of frosting.
