Mother's Jam Cake

Mix whole eggs, which have been beaten, with the melted butter, buttermilk, brown sugar and blackberry jam.

Add flour which has been sifted with the cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg.

Add nuts and fold in.

Bake in a 9-inch tube pan or two 8-inch or 9-inch layer pans, greased with a mixture of 1 part flour and 2 parts shortening rubbed together.

Bake at 325 degrees until done.

Let cool slightly, about 5 minutes, and turn it out on a cake rack.

While still warm, add bourbon to the bottom of the cake.

Pierce the cake & let the bourbon seep into the middle of the cake so it will be a drunken jam cake.
