Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inches baking pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes until smooth.
  3. Pour the mixture into the greased baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  4. Allow the cake to cool for about 15 minutes, then poke holes all over the top with a fork or skewer.
Making the Sauces
  1. For the white chocolate sauce, heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until simmering. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped white chocolate until melted.
  2. Add the vanilla extract and let it cool slightly, then pour it over the poked cake.
  3. For the blackberry sauce, in another saucepan combine the blackberries, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens.
  4. Drizzle the blackberry sauce over the cake, allowing it to seep into the holes.
Cooling and Serving
  1. Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving to let flavors meld.
  2. Garnish with extra blackberries and whipped cream just before serving.
