Blackberry Cake
 
 
Ingredients
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (1 stick) butter
  • 2 cups blackberry jam
  • 1 cup black walnuts
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons ground cloves
  • 2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
  • 2 teaspoons ground allspice
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda, dissolved in 1 cup buttermilk
  • 6 large eggs
  • ICING
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ cup (1 stick) butter
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 300°F. Lightly grease a 9 by 13-inch baking pan and set aside. Make the cake: Thoroughly mix all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl until smooth and lump free. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 1 hour, or until the cake is firm in the center and a toothpick comes out clean. During the final 20 minutes of baking, make the icing: Place all the ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, until thick. Keep warm until ready to use. Remove the cake from the oven and pour the icing over it while both are still hot. Let cool completely before serving.
