Hey Courtney, if I wanted to make this as a typical 3 layer cake and frost the outside, would type of buttercream/frosting might you recommend? vanilla bean butter cream? or your honey cream cheese?

My mom requested this cake for her birthday, and it did not disappoint! We loved the texture of the cake, and the blackberry compote pair perfectly with it. The whipped frosting was also the perfect choice, as it is much lighter than buttercream. Will definitely make this again!
(As others have mentioned, I used gelatin to stabilize the whipped cream since I couldn’t find EZ gel. I used 2 teaspoons of gelatin with 8 teaspoons of water. Bloom the gelatin in the water, wait 5 minutes, then microwave about 10 seconds. When the whipped cream is almost to stiff peaks, slowly pour in the gelatin with the mixer still running.)

My hubs was very skeptical, but once he tasted it he loved it!! This cake is so delicious and light (unlike a denser ‘dinner’ cornbread) that I will make it in smaller loaf pans and add a drizzle of honey over the top as a nice snack cake. Thanks for another winner, Courtney!

In the cornbread cake with blackberry compote and mascarpone whip cream , can I use gelatin to thicken whip cream instead of ez gel.
I don’t want to spend 20$ on something used rarely.
Thank you in advance.
I love your Instagram and this will be my first cake I make of yours!

In reply to Linda. Yes, you can use gelatin. There are instructions online on how to bloom gelatin and use it in whipped cream. EZ stabilizes just like gelatin.

This look amazing and I can’t wait to make it this weekend! However I’ve no idea what EZ gel is!! I’m in England and we don’t have it here. Any suggestions for a alternative please? I am new to your site and just love it thanks so much! x

In reply to Courtney Rich. Can’t find EZ gel so you suggest gelatin but didn’t confirm if proportions would be exactly the same. Can you please elaborate. Thank you

Hi! I plan to make this cake this week, however no stores near me (Pennsylvania) have Ez-Gel. Anything I can substitute that with in this recipe? If so, is it an equal sub. or different measurement?

I’ve made hundreds of cakes and this recipe is one of the best ever! My family, and friends, agree! The texture is amazing and the turbinado sugar on the sides is heavenly. The BlackBerry compote is refreshing and not too sweet. Brilliant recipe!

Any suggested substitute for EZ gel? It’s not something I keep in my pantry regularly.

If I can’t get a hold of mascarpone, can I use cream cheese instead?

I think there’s a typo in the buttermilk! Was pouring 450 grams and realized that’s more than a cup! Pretty sure it just calls for one cup though.
