When the recipe prints..I wish the picture of the cake would print also.
Thanks

Hi Barbara! You can try using File > Print in the upper left hand corner of your computer screen, rather than pushing the Print button on the page. This typically solves that problem.
When you say melted butter do you mean microwave melted or softened room temp
Hi Karen, microwave melted butter will work best for this.
Recently had blackberry poke cake at a church potluck and really wanted to recreate it. This recipe was okay but the cake was quite dry and, well, hard, almost like a shortcake. And that’s alright, just not at all what I was looking for. Think I’ll stick to my favorite homemade white cake recipe next time. Thanks for the recipe, though, always up to try som’n new.
