JAM CAKE WITH CARAMEL FROSTING

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 325 degrees F. Oil or grease an 8 inch square cake pan and line it with parchment paper.
• Whisk together the flour, salt, allspice, cloves, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
• In another small bowl, combine the buttermilk and baking soda.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter until creamy. Add the sugar, and beat for about 4 minutes, until fluffy and light. Add the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated.
• Reduce the speed to low and add 1/3 of the flour mixture. Add 1/2 of the buttermilk mixture, 1/3 of the flour mixture, 1/2 of the buttermilk mixture, and 1/3 of the flour mixture, mixing on low between each addition.
• Fold in the jam and the pecans.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes.
• Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove the cake from the pan to a wire rack and cool completely.
• Combine one cup of the sugar with the butter, baking soda, and heavy cream in a small nonstick sauce pan.
• Heat until the mixture comes to a low boil. Remove from the heat and cover the pan to keep warm.
• Place the rest of the sugar into a medium nonstick skillet and heat over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar turns to a dark amber color.
• Slowly pour the cream mixture into the caramelized sugar. It will sizzle so stir constantly. Cook until the mixture reaches 240 degrees F. (Soft ball stage).
• Remove from the heat and let cool for about 2 minutes.
• Pour the mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat for about 4 minutes, until spreadable. Add the salt, and beat for an additional minute.
• Spread the caramel over the cooled cake.

JAM CAKE WITH CARAMEL FROSTING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
• In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, salt and cocoa powder. Set aside.
• With an electric mixer, cream the sugar, butter and vanilla until light and fluffy. With the mixer running, add the eggs one at a time, beating well and scraping the bowl after each addition. Blend in jam.
• Add half of the dry ingredient mixture, then half the buttermilk. Repeat and mix just until blended.
• Stop the mixer and fold in raisins and pecans.
• Pour batter into prepared pans and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes or until a tester inserted into the center of the pan comes out clean. Place pans on a wire rack to cool.
• In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the brown sugar and cook, slowly stirring, for 2 minutes or until the sugar dissolves.
• Whisk in the milk and bring to a slow boil, slowly stirring constantly.
• Take off heat and stir in vanilla.
• Stir or whisk in powdered sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, until the right consistency is reached - thick enough to frost the cake but not lumpy.
• Let cool to room temperature before frosting the cake.
• If the cakes have domed on the top, cut the top of the dome off so each section of the cake is fairly flat.
• Place one cake layer on the serving platter you plan to use. (Note: If you place pieces of wax paper around the edge of the serving platter and then put the cake on top, the paper will catch any frosting that drips when you frost the cake. You can then gently pull them out after you are done. This way, the serving platter stays clean.)
• Spread some of the frosting on the top of the base layer, about 1/4-inch thick.
• Take the second cake layer and place it upside down on top of the frosting (this way the smoothest side, which is the bottom during baking, is the top of your cake).
• Frost the top and sides with remaining frosting.

• 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.

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.
