Jam Cake

9 Reviews

“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.” - by Debbie Collins

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease one 10 inch tube pan and set aside.
Cream together the butter and sugar. Add eggs separately, beating well after each.
Sift together soda and flour; add alternately with buttermilk to creamed mixture. Mix well.
Add jam, pecans, coconut and raisins. Mix well and pour into prepared pan. Bake for one hour or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

"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...." See more 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."
