I'm actually going to take this recipe, use more caramel and leave out the raisons to make a decadent caramel cake.  Making it for Easter so I'll let you know how it turns out.  Adding cream cheese to my caramel frosting.

No, I wouldn't leave out the nuts and raisins.  That takes the 
fruit out and that's what it is, a fruitcake with jam in it.

Hi Sheri and Everyone:

I looked at the recipe for this and it sounds delicious.
Except, I hate nuts and raisins.  Can you leave out the nuts and
raisins or maybe add something else in their place?
Or, do you have to use the nuts and raisins? Other than the nuts 
and
raisins, it sounds delicious!
I did not eat any of it at the seminar because I found out there 
was
raisins and nuts in it.

Thanks!
Kerri

 Debbi,

 Please find below the recipe about which we have all been 
talking:

 MARY's JAM CAKE

 by Mary Beaven

 Mary Beaven reports that this cake is a favorite with her family 
at
 Christmas.  In fact, as Dr.  Jernigan writes in his article, 
"Making Hay,"
 in the March, 1993, issue of the Braille Monitor, in many places 
in the
 South the jam cake was the rural equivalent of the Christmas 
fruit cake.  It
 is moist and unforgettably delicious.

 Ingredients:

 One-half cup butter
 1 cup sugar
 One-fourth cup brown sugar
 4 eggs, separated
 2 cups seedless blackberry jam
 1 teaspoon vanilla
 One-half cup buttermilk
 2 cups all-purpose flour
 One-half teaspoon baking soda
 One-half teaspoon salt
 One-half teaspoon nutmeg
 1 -and one-half teaspoon cinnamon
 1 cup raisins
 1 cup pecans, broken

 Method: Cream butter in electric mixer until soft.  Gradually 
add sugar, egg
 yolks, jam, and vanilla.

 Sift together dry ingredients.

 Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.

 Alternately beat buttermilk and dry ingredients into butter 
mixture.
 Stir in raisins and nuts.  Then gently fold in beaten egg 
whites.

 Bake in 3 9-inch round cake pans, which have been greased and 
floured.
 Bake at 325 degrees for 30 minutes.  When layers are done, allow 
to cool
 slightly on racks before removing from pans.

 When cake layers are completely cool, frost with the following 
caramel
 frosting and stack:

 Caramel Frosting: In heavy medium saucepan, melt 1 stick butter 
or margarine
 and add 1 cup brown sugar.  Cook over low heat for 2 minutes.
 Add one-fourth cup heavy cream and bring to boil, stirring 
constantly.
 Remove from heat and cool.  Add 1 and three-fourths to 2 cups 
powdered sugar
 and 1 teaspoon vanilla.  Beat with electric mixer until frosting 
is of
 spreading consistency.

 I'm cheering for your cake.  Mine was kind of lop sided but I 
plan to
 try it again maybe for Easter.  My frosting was perfect but my 
layers,

 well, they need more work.

 Howdy:

 Best of luck with those egg whites.  More than vision, 
temperature and
 timing are the keys.  Looking forward to enjoying the cake.

 Best,

 Greetings Federation Family,



 We are nearing our leadership seminar weekend and I am eagerly 
looking
 forward to seeing all of you.  I have just a few things I would 
like
 to take care of in one message and everything won't apply to 
everyone
 so please read down through the message and address what applies 
to
 you.



 There are still a couple of people who have not sent Marcus 
their
 money for the meals we are having catered at the seminar.  If 
you have
 not talked with me or Marcus to make arrangements to pay when 
you get
 there, I will soon half to cancel your meals unless we hear 
something.
 If by chance people plan on not attending these catered meals, 
it
 would also be helpful to know this so we won't have to worry 
about it
 any longer.



 Again, if you wish to bring snacks for the Saturday evening 
social
 time, you are welcome to do so.  This is not a requirement.  For 
those
 who are bringing snacks, it would be helpful to know what people 
are
 planning on bringing.  I will be supplying the paper products 
such as
 plates, napkins, forks, etc.  Knowing what people plan on 
bringing
 will let me know if I need to get any other items such as bowls.



 Sheri, the Harrison County Chapter is in charge of nametags and 
the
 registration table for convention this year.  Please bring with 
you
 the name tags and any extra supplies that Barb had.



 Ed, can you do the Braille agendas for the board meeting?



 Karen, were you able to get the print agendas sent to Glen and 
Mary
 Fish?



 Just to remind chapter presidents and board representatives, if 
your
 chapter wishes to donate a door prize for national convention, 
please
 bring it with you if at all possible.



 If any of you reading this message have members who are not on 
this
 list, please be sure to share it with them.



 Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions 
or need
 additional information.



 Charlene
