I made this cake using freshly frozen blackberries. The flavor was good but the blackberry seeds were a bother. Next time I'll use a different berry.

I made this cake and it was delious. But I used fresh berries instead of

the frozen and was delighted with the results. Everyone raved about it. I also used vanilla yogurt instead of plain.

Was that a dry cake? The picture looks like it is. Thanks, Deb

I made this cake and thought it was just OK. It tasted good enough but the texture of the cake was not to my liking. I probably would not make it again.

I was right to question the frozen berries---after 1 hour of cooking, the center was still soup. I followed the directions precisely. The moisture from frozen fruit is not appropriate for this recipe. I would suggest fresh fruit, or thaw and drain.

Why would you want to use a mix when homemade is so much better!

I would mix up the Jiffy cake mix according to the directions on the box and then add

the fruit and brown sugar mix  on top of that instead of going to the trouble

of making the cake from scratch
