Blackberry velvet gothic cake is a dramatic, deeply chocolatey layer cake infused with blackberry puree, filled with lush blackberry compote, and finished with a glossy dark chocolate ganache drip. It’s rich, moody, and perfect for Halloween, gothic themes, or any dessert table that needs a show-stopping centerpiece.
Why You’ll Love This Cake
This blackberry velvet gothic cake uses both black cocoa and regular cocoa for an inky, velvety crumb that tastes like a cross between devil’s food and red velvet. Blackberry puree and a layered blackberry filling add tart fruit notes that balance all the chocolate, while the ganache drip and dark garnishes give it a gothic, almost luxurious patisserie look. The components can be made ahead, making it easier to assemble on the day you serve.
