Yummy cake. I was looking for a recipe that would allow me to use up my blackberry jam that didn't set right - this fit the bill. I omitted the cloves (personal preference) and used milk with vinegar for the sour milk. I saw that the directions included nuts, which weren't in the ingredient list (perhaps listed incorrectly as the second 1/2 cup of jam?), so I included 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts. I omitted the carmel icing, which just didn't sound good to me on blackberries. I served it with vanilla ice cream and blackberry "syrup" (unset jam). I'll keep this recipe for a quick, easy cake.

It's a big city now, with all the big city advantages and disadvantages. I miss the small town feel but love the restaurant choices and the people friendly improvements.

I don't think I'm a great cook but I'm the kind of cook who can walk into the kitchen and find good things in the fridge and pantry and make it into a meal that everyone thinks is pretty darn good. Sometimes I use a recipe and sometimes...not so much.
I have a great collection of cookbooks, and I love reading them and studying the pictures. Sometimes I even cook the recipes, LOL! And that is why I love Zaar, an unending source of recipes and pictures. It's heaven!
