Original Recipe Yield 3 - 9 inch round pans
 

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon ground allspice
  • 1 tablespoon ground cloves
  • 1 cup seedless blackberry jam

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour 3 (9 inch) pans. Mix together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice and cloves. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk. Stir in the blackberry jam. Pour batter into prepared pans.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool in pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.

This was ok. It was a bit dry for my taste - I probably won't make again.
