Blackberry Jam Cake with Caramel Icing: How to Make

Never had a Kentucky jam cake with caramel icing❓It's a regional dish that's finally getting worldwide ???? recognition!

This is a recipe that my family has used for decades. An image of the recipe from an old cookbook that my mom had is included in the video!

I followed the recipe instructions exactly. The only change that I would make is to add 1/2 cup of vegetable oil for added moisture.

I hope that you enjoy it as much as I have! ????

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.
