OLD-FASHIONED STRAWBERRY JAM CAKE



Old-Fashioned Strawberry Jam Cake image

This was my husband's great-grandmother's old-fashioned strawberry cake recipe. We enjoy eating it at Christmas. Make sure the humidity is low when making the filling. This makes a lot of filling. If I have extra filling, I drop it on waxed paper and we eat it like divinity.

Time 1h35m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups white sugar
2 cups chopped pecans
2 cups strawberry jam
1 cup salted butter, softened
5 large eggs
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
4 cups all-purpose flour
3 cups white sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 ½ cups heavy cream
1 ½ cups raisins
1 ½ cups chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 9-inch cake pans.
  • Mix sugar, pecans, strawberry jam, butter, eggs, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a bowl. Mix baking soda into buttermilk; add to the batter. Add flour a little at a time, mixing well, until combined.
  • Pour batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool, about 30 minutes.
  • While cakes cool, beat sugar and butter for filling together in a bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Add heavy cream, raisins, and pecans. Transfer to a pot and bring to a boil. Do not stir once syrup begins to boil. Heat to 240 degrees F (115 degrees C) or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from water and placed on a flat surface.
  • Spread between and over the top of the cooled cake layers, letting excess drip down the sides.

Tips for Baking Perfect Individual Strawberry Jam Cakes:

  • Use Fresh Strawberries: Fresh strawberries deliver the best flavor and texture to your cakes. If using frozen strawberries, thaw and drain them before use.
  • Choose Quality Strawberry Jam: Select a high-quality strawberry jam made with real strawberries and minimal added sugar. This will ensure the best flavor and consistency in your cakes.
  • Whisk Dry Ingredients Thoroughly: Whisking the dry ingredients together before adding them to the wet ingredients helps prevent lumps and ensures an even distribution of the leavening agents.
  • Cream Butter and Sugar Until Light and Fluffy: This step incorporates air into the mixture, resulting in a lighter and more tender cake. Creaming the butter and sugar together also helps dissolve the sugar, preventing a grainy texture.
  • Add Eggs One at a Time: Gradually adding the eggs one at a time allows them to fully incorporate into the batter without curdling.
  • Mix in Dry Ingredients Gradually: Adding the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions helps prevent overmixing, which can result in a tough cake.
  • Do Not Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and no streaks of flour remain.
  • Fill Liners Only 2/3 Full: The cakes will rise during baking, so filling the liners only 2/3 full prevents them from overflowing.
  • Bake Until a Toothpick Inserted into the Center Comes Out Clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cakes are fully baked.

Conclusion:

These individual strawberry jam cakes are a delightful treat that combines the flavors of sweet strawberries, tangy jam, and moist vanilla cake. Perfect for any occasion, they are easy to make and sure to impress your friends and family. With a few simple tips and tricks, you can achieve perfectly baked cakes with a tender crumb and a burst of strawberry flavor in every bite. So, gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and get ready to indulge in these delicious and satisfying treats!
