List of Ingredients



• 6 cups blackberries, cleaned
  
• 1 cup blackberry or black cherry juice
  
• 1/2 cup sugar
  
• 1-1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  
• 1 angel food cake, torn into 1-inch pieces
  






Instructions



1. Mash 2 cups of the blackberries well and stir into juice. Add sugar to taste, if needed (starting with 1 tablespoon). Stir in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla; set aside.
   
   
2. Sprinkle remaining blackberries with 1 tablespoon sugar; set aside. Whip cream to soft peaks; sweeten to taste, starting with 2 teaspoons sugar. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla; set aside.
   
   
3. Put one-third of the cake in a glass bowl (for the prettiest presentation) and drizzle with one-third of the blackberry sauce. Add a third of the fruit and top with a third of the whipped cream. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used. Serve at once.
