Recipe: Jeane's Blackberry Jam Cake

6 eggs beaten
1/2 cup water
1 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 cups blackberry jam (I use the Blackberry Cobbler from Cracker Barrel.  They sell it in their lobby.  It taste like homemade jam.)
1 cup melted butter

3 cups flour
1 cup Sugar
1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Baking soda
1 teaspoon Allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground Cloves

1) Mix first 5 ingredients together (wet ingredients)
2) Mix together next 6 ingredients together (dry ingredients)
3) Combine both together and mix gently for about a minute with mixer.
4) Pour into 2-3 round prepared baking pans. I spray bottom of pan and flour lightly or spray parchment paper before pouring batter.
5) Bake on 325 for about 25 min.
6) Use remaining jam between layers.
7) Ice top layer with butter cream icing.

Butter Cream Icing

3 cups confectioner 's (powdered) sugar

2 TBSpoons  melted butter

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Carnation Evaporated Milk - use until desired consistency is achieved.

If icing is too thin, add more powdered sugar.  If too thick, add more Carnation Evaporated Milk

Backstory/Memory: This is my favorite cake. My Mom would bake this cake for my birthday every year. When my husband was in the Air Force, we were stationed his last year in the state of Washington. My Mom baked this cake (minus the icing) and mailed it to me in a cake tin. It arrived safely and was so good to get a taste from home.

Recipe: Baked Apples
You will need Apples, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, butter
You cut the apples in small or medium slices, mix the butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg and pour over apples in baking pan. Bake in oven for 20 minutes or until soft, pour honey over baked apples. Serve while hot or cool.

Backstory/Memory: I had two bags of apples (two different apples) I needed to use before they got old. So I looked on pinterest for some quick recipes and had a family gathering of snacks with my baked apples. It was a huge success and there was none left. This is a good vegetarian, gluten free, and paleo dish also.
