Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with baker’s spray. Set aside.

  5. Heat the blackberry preserves in the microwave for 45 seconds to 1 minute. Stir until pourable.
  6. Pour the warmed preserves evenly over the cake, ensuring coverage in all holes. Use an offset spatula to smooth if needed.

  8. Fold in the whipped topping until fully combined.
  9. Spread the pudding mixture over the cake, avoiding mixing into the preserves.
