- 3 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
- 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 1 2/3 cup milk
- 1/2 cup nonfat yogurt
- 2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

- In the bowl of a standing mixer, cream together the butter, oil and sugar on medium speed until fluffy.
- Add egg and mix until combined.
- With the mixer on low speed, add 1/3 of the flour mixture, followed by 1/2 of the milk mixture. Repeat with another 1/3 of flour mixture, remaining 1/2 of milk mixture, and rest of flour mixture. Mix until combined.
- Stir in reserved blackberry juice. Make sure to scrape to the bottom of the bowl so that all of the batter is colored.
- Divide batter between the two cake pans. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until toothpick inserted in center or one cake comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool 5 minutes before running knife around edge and inverting onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
