Notes: This is a very old recipe. It originated from my great grandmother, Grandmother Elliston (my mom's grandmother) I never met her. My mom's family were from the deep hills of Kentucky. I only knew my mom's mom, Grandma Schaefer. She is the one I remember always making this cake. The icing was my favorite part.
**I remember the jam seeds getting into my teeth, so it might be a good idea to use seedless jam**
