Mom's Blackberries and Cream Cake Recipe

            
    One of my favorites times of the year and childhood 
memories was off to pick blackberries or raspberries. Then cakes, cobblers and jams that came out of mom's kitchen. Here was the first recipe I remember we had at the beginning of the season. A delicious buttery scratch cake with whipped cream and just a hint of cinnamon made us know summer is near.
