Tennessee Jam Cake

We especially love this luscious caramel frosting, which is easier and quicker than others we've tried.
Course: Dessert
Servings: 0
Author: Southern Living

Ingredients

  • 1 18.25-ounce package spice cake mix
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/3 cup sweetened applesauce
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup blackberry jam
  • Quick Caramel Frosting
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar packed
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 cups powdered sugar sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  • Beat the first 6 ingredients at low speed with an electric mixer for 1 minute. Scrape down sides, and beat at medium speed 2 more minutes until well blended, stopping to scrape down sides, if needed. Pour batter evenly into 2 (9-inch) round cake pans.
  • Bake at 350° for 26 to 28 minutes or until cakes are light brown and spring back when pressed with your finger.
  • Cool in pans on wire racks for 10 minutes. Remove from pans; cool completely on wire racks.
  • Place one layer on a serving platter, and spread 1/2 cup of jam on top of layer. Spread warm Quick Caramel Frosting smoothly over jam. Top with remaining cake layer. Spread top and sides of cake with remaining Quick Caramel Frosting, working quickly before the frosting hardens. (If frosting becomes too hard to spread, place it over low heat for 1 minute, stirring constantly.) Let cake stand 10 minutes.
  • Quick Caramel Frosting:
  • Bring first 3 ingredients to boil in a 3 1/2-quart saucepan over medium heat, whisking constantly, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in milk, and bring to a boil; remove from heat. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, stirring with a wooden spoon until smooth. Use immediately.
