Scale
- 6 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1–2 tablespoons dried lavender
- 1 cup melted coconut oil
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk

Instructions
- To make the jam, combine blackberries, honey, lemon juice, and dried lavender in a pot over high heat. Bring to a boil, then mash the berries. Cook until thickened, about 5-8 minutes, then cool.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper. Mix together melted coconut oil, sour cream, eggs, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
- Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to the mixture. Gradually mix in the milk.
- Pour the batter into the prepared dish. Dollop blackberry lavender jam over the top and swirl gently with a knife. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until set. Allow to cool completely.
- For the frosting, beat together butter and powdered sugar until fluffy. Add melted white chocolate and vanilla, mixing until well combined.
- Once the cake is cool, spread more blackberry lavender jam on top. Frost with white chocolate frosting and swirl in more jam if desired. Slice and enjoy!
