Instructions:
1. Prepare the Cake:
Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the cake mix box. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Prepare the white cake mix according to the package instructions.
Fold in 1 cup of fresh blackberries into the cake batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake according to the package directions. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
2. Poke Holes in the Cake:
Using the handle of a wooden spoon or a skewer, poke holes all over the surface of the warm cake.
3. Make the White Chocolate Ganache:
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the white chocolate chips and heavy cream in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and creamy.
4. Pour the Ganache Over the Cake:
Pour the warm white chocolate ganache over the surface of the cake, making sure it seeps into the holes.
Use a spatula to spread the ganache evenly over the cake.
5. Prepare the Blackberry Sauce:
In a saucepan, combine the fresh blackberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the blackberries break down and the mixture begins to bubble.
Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
6. Drizzle the Blackberry Sauce Over the Cake:
Drizzle the warm blackberry sauce over the top of the cake, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
