Old Fashioned Blackberry Jam Cake Recipe

This old-fashioned blackberry jam cake recipe by Whippoorwill Holler on YouTube is made from scratch and it’s a 3 layer cake. I love old-fashioned recipes because they are passed down from generations and vintage recipes that have their own personal twist to them. This cake is impressive because it has an amazing fruity flavor with a nice moist glaze. The jam keeps the cake moist. This is one of those southern desserts or desserts that your grandma might’ve made. It’s packed full of blackberry flavor and warm spices. I’ve never heard of this type of cake before, but I love fruity cakes.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup butter
• 2 cups dark brown sugar
• 6 eggs
• 1 cup sour cream
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 t. baking soda
• 1/2 t. Salt
• 2 t. cinnamon
• 2 cups blackberry jam
• 2 t. vanilla

Icing:

• 2 cups sugar
• 1 cup butter
• 1 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 2 t. vanilla

Topping:

• chopped walnuts

Directions:

First, sift the dry ingredients together such as flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Lightly grease 3 (9 inch) pans and preheat the oven to 350F. Then, add your wet ingredients to make the cake batter with a stand-up mixer or a hand mixer. Continue to watch Whippoorwill Holler tutorial on YouTube for full instructions and details.

Next, after the cake has finished baking in the oven for 30 minutes, make the icing while the cake is cooling on the cooling rack. Spread the frosting on the cake and continue until all 3 layers are finished.

This isn’t the type of cake you would make often, but it’s a great cake for a special occasion. It would impress a lot of people because blackberry cake is not something that is common. The icing on this cake looks runny, but it looks nice and sweet. Sprinkle some walnuts on top to finish it off.
