SIMPLE JAM CAKE, AN OLD FARM RECIPE

Steps:

• 1. Position oven rack on lowest level of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Line a springform cake tin with baking parchment or waxed paper on the base and sides.
• 2. In a large bowl sift flour, baking powder and salt together. With an electric mixer cream butter and sugar until well mixed and very pale. Then slowly add the eggs ensuring that they are combined thoroughly.
• 3. Add vanilla to the milk. Fold flour then the milk in 3 lots in using broad strokes ensuring that it is well combined. Pour the batter into the springform tin and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes on the lowest rack. Then turn the heat down to 325 degrees and bake for an additional 40 minutes (or more depending on test) using a cake tester or a tooth pick to test for doneness. If it comes out clean then the cake is done.
• 4. Cool cake on wire rack. Remove from pan and cut into two layers with a long bread knife. Spread jam thickly on bottom layer. Use as much jam or as little as you prefer. Place top layer on cake and sprinkle powdered sugar on top of cake as thickly as you like.
• 5. CHEAT: Use a two layer yellow cake mix and spread jam in between layers. Sprinkle powdered sugar on top. Much quicker but not authentic. hehe :)

QUICK AND DEEELISH JAM CAKE WITH CARAMEL FROSTING

Steps:

• CAKE:.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Prepare three 8" or two 9" round cake pans.
• Mix the cake mix and cinnamon together.
• Add the buttermilk, applesauce, vegetable oil, eggs, and jam.
• Mix thoroughly.
• Fold in the raisins and nuts.
• Pour batter into pans.
• Bake for 22 to 25 minutes or until they spring back when touched lightly in the middle.
• Cool for 10 minutes in the pan; invert cakes onto wire cooling racks.
• Set aside and prepare frosting.
• FROSTING:.
• Use the butter wrapper to grease the inside of a saucepan.
• Over medium heat melt butter and brown sugar together; bring to a boil.
• Stir and boil for 2 minutes exactly.
• Stir in evaporated milk; bring to boil.
• Remove from heat and add powdered sugar and vanilla.
• Beat until smooth and creamy.
• Not only do I double the recipe, but at the end I put it in a mixing bowl before it cools down and beat it with a mixer. When it starts cooling it will get thicker, so frost cake before it hardens.
• I made seven of these yesterday, wrapped them in plastic wrap after they cooled, put them in cake boxes with a bow and a tag and they made WONDERFUL (and very appreciated) presents for family and friends.
• Enjoy, and please let me know if you enjoy them as much as we do!
