Cake:

1/2 cup butter
2 cups sugar
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon clove
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
4 eggs
1- 16 oz can blackberries

Icing:

3/4 stick butter
1/2 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Sift four, soda, and spices together and set aside. Cream the butter and add in the sugar. Add in eggs one at a time until the mixture is smooth. Alternate adding dry ingredients and buttermilk until all is added and the mixture is smooth. Lastly, fold in black berries, juice and all, until fully incorporated.

Bake at 375°F for 45 minutes. While cake is baking, prepare icing. In a sauce pan melt butter. Add brown sugar and cook over medium heat for 4 minutes. Add milk and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add in vanilla and powdered sugar. Stir until smooth. If too thick, thin with canned milk that is room temperature. When cake is cooled, frost.
