Preheat the oven to 350 degree F., then grease and flour 3 9-inch cake

Cream the butter and sugar until light then beat in the eggs and jam,
blending well. Sift the dry ingredients together and then add the dry
ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, to the creamed mixture,
blending well after each addition. Stir in the raisins and nuts. Pour the

wire racks and turn out of the cake pans to cool to room temperature. When
cool, spread with the warm frosting,
