Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 6- or 7-inch round cake pans with butter, then sprinkle flour inside.

- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes.
- Once baked, cool the cakes on a wire rack for about 10 minutes, then refrigerate overnight.
- Beat softened butter until fluffy, then mix in blackberry preserves, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and dried thyme.
- Assemble your cake by spreading frosting and blackberry preserves between layers, then frost the top and sides.
