Beat the butter with the sugar until soft, gradually add the flour, baking powder, and then slowly add the water and color with pink dye. Beat until you have a homogeneous dough. Soften the cream cheese with a spatula, place it in a pastry bag and set aside. Pour half of the tamal dough into a previously greased and floured ring mold, spreading it well. Using a spoon, create a well in the middle and add the cream cheese, blackberry jam, pineapple, and cover with the remaining dough. Cover the mold with aluminum foil and cook in a water bath on the stove for about 1 hour or until cooked through. Cool slightly and unmold. Unmold the tamal and decorate with cream cheese and blackberries, cut a slice and enjoy.
