Best 5 Blackberry Jam Cake With Walnuts And Caramel Icing Recipes

BLACKBERRY JAM CAKE WITH CARAMEL ICING

Steps:

• Make the cake:
• In a large bowl with an electric mixer cream together the butter and the sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the eggs and combine the mixture well. Into a bowl sift together 3 cups of the flour, the allspice, the cloves, the cinnamon, and the salt. In another bowl combine the buttermilk and the baking soda. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in batches alternately with the buttermilk mixture, beating well after each addition. In a bowl toss together the raisins, the pecans, and the remaining 1 tablespoon flour and stir the mixture into the batter with the jam, stirring until the mixture is combined well. Line the bottoms of 2 buttered 9-inch cake pans with wax paper and butter the paper. Pour the batter into the pans and bake the layers in the middle of a preheated 325°F. oven for 40 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Let the layers cool in the pans on a rack for 15 minutes, invert them onto the rack, and let the layers cool completely.
• Make the icing
• In a saucepan combine the brown sugar, the evaporated milk, and the butter, cook the mixture over moderately low heat, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved, and cook it, undisturbed, washing down any sugar crystals clinging to the side of the pan with a brush dipped in cold water, until it registers 238°F. on a candy thermometer. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and beat it until it is of spreading consistency. If the icing gets too hard to spread, dip the icing spatula in hot water.
• Transfer one of the layers, bottom up, to a cake plate, frost the top with the icing, and top it with the remaining layer, bottom down. Frost the top and sides with the icing.

• Sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, allspice and cocoa and set aside. Combine the buttermilk and vanilla. Fold the flour mixture into the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk mixture in these proportions: 1/3 flour mixture, 1/2 buttermilk, 1/3 flour mixture, remaining buttermilk, remaining flour mixture. Do not beat.
• Drain the raisins and fold them into the batter along with the jam and walnuts. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until the cake is firm and bounces back in the center. Cool for 5 minutes, then unmold onto a rack.
• To make the icing: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and continue stirring for 2 minutes. Slowly pour in the milk and bring the mixture to a boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and confectioners' sugar. Beat until creamy and smooth. Thin with a little milk or whisky, if needed. Drizzle over the warm cake.

Bake cakes until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool cakes in pans 10 minutes. Run knife around pan sides to loosen cakes. Turn cakes out onto racks and cool completely.
• For icing:
• Combine brown sugar, evaporated milk, butter, molasses and salt in heavy medium saucepan. Whisk over medium-low heat until blended and smooth. Transfer mixture to large bowl. Cool to lukewarm, whisking occasionally, about 15 minutes. Working in batches, sift powdered sugar into mixture, beating until smooth after each addition. Beat in vanilla extract. Cover and refrigerate icing until firm enough to spread, about 30 minutes.

QUICK AND DEEELISH JAM CAKE WITH CARAMEL FROSTING

Steps:

• CAKE:.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Prepare three 8" or two 9" round cake pans.
• Mix the cake mix and cinnamon together.
• Add the buttermilk, applesauce, vegetable oil, eggs, and jam.
• Mix thoroughly.
• Fold in the raisins and nuts.
• Pour batter into pans.
• Bake for 22 to 25 minutes or until they spring back when touched lightly in the middle.
• Cool for 10 minutes in the pan; invert cakes onto wire cooling racks.
• Set aside and prepare frosting.
• FROSTING:.
• Use the butter wrapper to grease the inside of a saucepan.
• Over medium heat melt butter and brown sugar together; bring to a boil.
• Stir and boil for 2 minutes exactly.
• Stir in evaporated milk; bring to boil.
• Remove from heat and add powdered sugar and vanilla.
• Beat until smooth and creamy.
• Not only do I double the recipe, but at the end I put it in a mixing bowl before it cools down and beat it with a mixer. When it starts cooling it will get thicker, so frost cake before it hardens.
• I made seven of these yesterday, wrapped them in plastic wrap after they cooled, put them in cake boxes with a bow and a tag and they made WONDERFUL (and very appreciated) presents for family and friends.
• Enjoy, and please let me know if you enjoy them as much as we do!

BLACKBERRY JAM CAKE WITH CARAMEL ICING

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Butter and flour a large tube pan, or use a flour based baking spray such as Baker's Joy. Set the pan aside.
• 2. Separate the eggs, putting the yolks and whites in different mixing bowls. In another large bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In a small bowl, mix ½ cup of the flour mixture with the walnuts and raisins.
• 3. Add the brown sugar, butter, and blackberry jam to the egg yolks, and stir together thoroughly. Stir in the buttermilk. Add the flour mixture. Beat the egg whites until they turn white but are loose and runny, not too "airy." Fold the egg whites into the batter. Then mix the nuts and raisins into final mixture blending only enough so that they are equally distributed in the batter.
• 4. Pour the batter into the tube pan and bake for 1 ½ to 2 hours. When a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, it's done.
• 5. Remove the pan from the oven and let the cake cool for about 10 minutes in the pan. Then loosen the cake from the sides of the pan by running a knife around the edge. Invert a cake plate over the pan, and invert the two together. Lift off the tube pan.
• 6. Caramel Icing: 8 tablespoons butter, softened 1/2 cup heavy cream 2 cups dark brown sugar, packed Mix all the ingredients together in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved and the icing is well blended. Remove from the heat and drizzle over cake while still warm. You can make the icing as thick as you like.
