Jam cake is a well-loved Southern favorite and a great example of why bakers should always have jams and jellies on hand. Even if you never use them as a spread, scores of recipes call for them, from jam-filled muffins<\/a>, donuts<\/a> and bars<\/a> to classic Linzer cookies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Before you try those other options, though, make this cake. Seriously. Don\u2019t let the long ingredient list and unusual icing intimidate you, because it\u2019s easy to make, even for a novice.<\/p>\n
