OLD-FASHIONED STRAWBERRY JAM CAKE
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.

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:
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
- If you don't have fresh strawberries, you can use frozen strawberries that have been thawed and drained.
- To make sure the jam sets properly, use a candy thermometer to measure the temperature of the jam as it cooks. It should reach 220 degrees Fahrenheit (104 degrees Celsius).
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the jam by dropping a small amount onto a cold plate. If the jam wrinkles when you push it with your finger, it is ready.
- Let the jam cool completely before using it in the cake.
- To make the cake extra moist, brush the layers with simple syrup before assembling the cake.
- For a professional-looking finish, use a piping bag to frost the cake.
Conclusion:
This strawberry jam cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
