JAM CAKE

Ingredients :
1 Cup Butter
1 Cup Sugar
1 Cup Seedless Blackberry Jam
1 Cup Strawberry Preserves
1 Cup Fig Preserves
5 Large Eggs
3 Cups Flour (plain)
1 Cup Buttermilk
1 Tablespoon Soda
1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
1 Tablespoon Allspice
1 Cup Chopped Pecans or Walnuts

Instructions :
Cream butter and sugar.
Add jams.
Mix well.
Add 5 egg yolks and beat until smooth.
Stir baking soda into buttermilk.
Add flour and buttermilk to the egg mixture.
Add the spices and the nuts.
Mix well.
Fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites.
Pour into a tube cake pan that has been prepared with oil and flour.
I like to use Joy spray.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for about 1 1\2 hours.
Cover top with foil when the top is brown so cake will not brown too much.
Stick a knife in the middle and if it comes out clean, the cake is done.
