Blackberry Lavender Naked Cake with White Chocolate Buttercream. Four layers of light and fluffy vanilla cake with homemade blackberry lavender jam, and white chocolate buttercream. This cake is nothing short of delicious. Every bite is layered with fresh berries, hints of lavender, and sweet vanilla cake. The perfect berry filled cake for any and all occasions

As if you could not tell from Tuesday’s blueberry galette, I am really excited about the arrival of berry season. I have decided that this is the summer I will embrace fruit based desserts. You guys know I am all about chocolate, but right now I’m loving fruit based sweets, and having a lot of fun creating recipes using my favorite fruits.

Plus, after sharing mostly chocolate desserts over the last five and a half years, I think it’s time to branch out…at least a little. Don’t worry, I’ll be sharing chocolate next week!

Anyway, I’m very excited about this cake and so happy with how it turned out. I was nervous when I set out to make this cake, as layer cakes can be a little intimidating. Fortunately, not only did this cake turn out pretty, it’s also really good. Some layer cakes can be dry and flavorless, especially layer cakes of the non-chocolate variety, but trust me, this cake is soft and bursting with flavor.
