Description

A very spicy cake with cinnamon, allspice and cloves. Blackberry jam is stirred in and the cakes are baked in three 9 inch pans. Make some Cream Cheese Frosting to assemble them with.

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.
