Tennessee Jam Cake Delight

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Tennessee Jam Cake Delight.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   While that warms up, take three 8-inch round cake pans and give them a good greasing to ensure your cakes slide out easily later on.

3. Step 3

   In a large mixing bowl, grab your electric mixer and beat together the sugar and softened butter until the mixture becomes light and fluffy—this is where the magic begins! Next, add the eggs one at a time, making sure to mix well after each addition to create a smooth batter.

4. Step 4

   In a small bowl, dissolve the baking soda in a splash of water, then stir this bubbly mixture into your batter along with the delightful blackberry jam, adding a burst of flavor.

5. Step 5

   Now, in another bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.

6. Step 6

   Gradually incorporate this fragrant dry mixture into your batter, alternating with the buttermilk, and mix just until everything is combined—don’t overdo it! If you’re feeling adventurous, fold in some chopped black walnuts and golden raisins for an extra touch of texture and sweetness.

7. Step 7

   Once your batter is ready, divide it evenly among the prepared cake pans, smoothing the tops with a spatula for a nice finish.

8. Step 8

   Pop the pans into your preheated oven and bake for about 35 minutes, or until the tops spring back when you gently touch them.

9. Step 9

   When they’re done, let the cakes cool in the pans for a few minutes before carefully inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Step 10

    Enjoy the delightful aroma filling your kitchen as you await the deliciousness that’s about to come!.
