Combine the Blackberry Ice drink with the sugar and bring to a boil while gently stirring.
Turn the heat off and let the mixture sit for approximately 30 minutes.
Preheat Oven 375 degrees:
Combine all of the dry ingredients in a bowl. 
Combine the eggs, vanilla, milk and vegetable oil and gently beat with a fork, until the eggs are incorporated.
Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients while stirring.
