Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup raisins
• 1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple, undrained
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 jar (12 ounces) blackberry jam or 1 cup homemade blackberry jam
• 2/3 cup buttermilk
• 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup baking cocoa
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• CARAMEL ICING:
• 1 cup butter, cubed
• 2 cups packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup milk
• 3-1/2 to 4 cups sifted confectioners sugar

Directions

• Directions Soak raisins in pineapple and juice several hours or overnight. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add jam and buttermilk; beat until well blended. Sift together dry ingredients; add to batter. Beat on low just until combined. Stir in the raisins, pineapple and pecans. Pour into two greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans. Bake at 350° for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes before removing to wire racks. For icing, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar and milk; bring to a boil. Remove from the heat. Cool just until warm; beat in enough confectioners sugar until icing achieves spreading consistency. Add more sugar for thicker icing; more milk to thin it. Frost cooled cake. Yield: 12-16 servings.
