Phyllis Stokes' Blackberry Jam Cake
This was the best cake I've made so far. It turned out so light and fluffy using techniques Mom showed in this original video:
I list these tips below.
Ingredients.
1/2 cup salted butter (1 stick), softened
1 1/2 cups white sugar
3 eggs
3 cups all purpose flour
1 cup whole buttermilk
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup blackberry jam (I used blackberry preserves)
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until ingredients throughly incorporated.
2. In a separate bowl, mix softened butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, and mix until blended.
3. Add dry spices and vanilla to the butter/sugar mix. Mix well. Then add the blackberry jam. Mix well (approximately 3-5 minutes.
4. Slowly add flour and butter milk to the butter mixture. Add flour first and last, alternating between flour and buttermilk.
5. Coat walnuts with flour (approximately 1 teaspoon) and fold into the batter. Be careful not to over-mix batter.
6. Pour batter into greased cake pan or casserole dish. Cook at 350F until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Mine took 45 minutes.
7. Let cool for approximately 30 minutes and then top with a glaze or frosting...or eat it as is!
Tips:
1. Butter and dairy products should be room temperature before adding. These ingredients will mix easier and emulsify, resulting in a fluffier cake.
2. Once you begin adding flour, be careful not to overmix. Like kneading bread, overmixing makes the cake tougher.
3. Nuts have an oily coating which will cause them to sink to the bottom of the cake. Coat them with flour before adding to the batter. The flour will help them grip and not sink.
Betty's Kentucky Jam Cake -- Christmas
Betty demonstrates how to make Jam Cake. This will be one of the desserts on our Christmas table this year. It is a cake that originated in Kentucky (or Tennessee) and is traditionally served with the Christmas dinner.
Blackberry Jam Cake
1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 eggs, well beaten
12 ounces blackberry jam (I used spreadable fruit--blackberry.)
1 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons baking soda
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 cup raisins (I used golden raisins.)
1/2 cup chopped pecans
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar, beating on medium speed of an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Set aside. In a medium bowl, combine eggs and jam. Mix well and add to the creamed mixture. Beat well. Combine buttermilk and soda, stirring well. Set aside. In a medium-sized bowl, combine flour, salt, cocoa powder, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, and allspice, stirring well. Add dry mixture to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk mixture. Stir in raisins and pecans. Pour batter into three greased and floured 8-inch to 9-inch round cake pans. Bake at 350 degrees (F) for 25 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into deepest part comes out clean. Cool in pans on cooling rack. Ice with Caramel Frosting after cake has cooled. Caramel Frosting will be the next video in Betty's Kitchen! Enjoy the cake recipe! --Betty :)

Betty's Caramel Frosting for Jam Cake -- Christmas
Betty demonstrates how to make Caramel Frosting for a Blackberry Jam Cake. This cake and frosting comprise one of the desserts on the Christmas table this year. (The recipe for the cake has been previously uploaded in Betty's Kitchen.) This is a traditional Christmas dessert in Kentucky.
Caramel Frosting for a Blackberry Jam Cake
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup whipping cream
18 large marshmallows, cut in half
3 cups confectioner's sugar (This is the same as powdered sugar or icing sugar.)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a medium-sized saucepan, stir together butter, white sugar, brown sugar, and whipping cream. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Add marshmallow halves and stir until they are melted. Stir in vanilla. Add confectioner's sugar slowly, beating with an electric mixer on medium speed until frosting is of spreading consistency. For thicker consistency, refrigerate, checking occasionally. Spread on cooled cake, cupcakes, or cookies. Enjoy! --Betty :)
