Jam Cake

SUBMITTED BY: Debbie Collins      PHOTO BY: foodaholic

"This is a traditional Kentucky Christmas Cake. I like it better than fruit cake and the pecans may be soaked in bourbon several days before the cake is made."

This is very similar to a recipe that has been handed down in my family for over 100 years. If you think this cake is good the first day, then why don't you put it int he fridge and let it set 3 days. The flavors meld beautifully and it is great cold. I even use it for wedding cakes. It is a stately, elegant, rich cake that will take your breath away.

I just wish there was a recipe for the icing as well.

soaked raisins and nuts in whisky (I keep a tub of whiskey soaked raisins in the pantry all the time), added ground cloves, nutmeg and cinamon, sans coconut-my dude doesn't always care for it. I could not stop eating this cake. When you're at the warehouse store and see the two huge jars of blackberry jam, fear not! This recipe will use it up!
