Jam Cake

"This is another of those cakes passed down from Mom. When DH and I were married, he did not like cake. Mom has a reputation for making fabulous cakes and she converted him! Prep time includes 15 minute cooling time."

  1. Wow, we really enjoyed this cake. It was moist, but not crumbly, and smelled heavenly while baking. I used apricot preserves, and I followed the directions you gave carefully, using a bundt pan. Thanks for sharing this wonderful cake recipe...it will be used again.
     
  2. Very good moist cake. I used a tube pan and raspberry preserves. Instead of dusting with powdered sugar, I made a glaze with the powdered sugar, vanilla and milk. Delicious!
     
  3. this was simply delicious! so moist and buttery! i used raspberry jam, the bundt pan, and it was just perfect! you have the best cake recipes!!!
     
  4. This makes a huge cake! Baked it in my bundt pan and it nearly overflowed. Next time I will use a larger pan. Aside from that the cake was very good. Moist, full of flavour. Used my freshly made cranberry jam and it blended well with the spices. <br/>A really nice cake, will certainly make again.<br/>Thanks for posting.
     
  5. I made this with strawberry (cuz thats all I had on hand) on a whim for a potluck dinner at church...it disappeared in a heartbeat! I was asked for the recipe by no less than a dozen people I plan to made it with the balckberry jam I make every year.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am currently a stay at home Mom and wife (aka: homemaker, domestic engineer, chauffeur, etc.). My husband and I made this choice about 2 1/2 years ago. At the time I was averaging 72 hours/week +. Our kids were complaining that they never saw me, and one of them was even getting in trouble (too little supervision apparently). We got the troubled teen through high school, and she is currently preparing for college. Things have improved a lot so I am considering going back to work part-time while the kids are gone to school (if the right opportunity presents itself). <br> <br>I love to cook, especially trying new recipes. I get tired of the same ol', same ol'. I also love reading cookbooks and the history of recipes. I always hated doing all the dishes afterwards, so I did a lot of one dish meals whenever possible. Recently, my husband bought me a new dishwasher, so now I am cooking up a storm! Everyone is loving it. <br> <br>I look forward to making new friends in Recipezaar, trying out new recipes, and hope some of you will try some of mine. Please, if you try my recipes, take time to post a little note telling me about your experience and any modifications you may have made. I just love to experiment and try new things in the kitchen! :-))
