  1. The only jam cake I had ever had was a spice type cake filled with jam so I was nervous about putting jam IN the cake, but I decided to go for it anyway, and I'm glad that I did. I love the blackberry flavor in the cake. I used a 10 oz jar of blackberry jam, and did not have quite a liquid cup, but the cake seems fine. Next time I'll buy a second jar to get a full cup and fill the cake with the rest. I frosted the cake with CoffeeB's Caramel Frosting #264630, which complements the cake quite nicely.<br/>Here are the changes that I made:<br/>I didn't have any allspice on hand, and I don't like a lot of clove so I used 1.5 tsp cinnamon, .5 tsp clove, 1 tsp ginger, and 3/4 tsp nutmeg. I also found 375 to be a bit high. I baked the cakes at 375 for 20 minutes, lowered the temperature to 350, and baked for another 7 minutes and they were done.

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
