2 sticks butter
2 c. sugar
4 beaten eggs
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 c. peach preserves
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cloves
1 tsp. salt
2 c. canned or frozen blackberries
3 c. flour (plain)
1 c. raisins
1/2 c. buttermilk

Cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs, spices, salt, blackberries, flour, raisins and preserves. Beat until blended. Dissolve soda in buttermilk, add to batter and mix well, BUT DO NOT BEAT. Pour into three greased and floured layer pans or one 10 inch tube pan.

Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees. Allow 25 minutes baking time for the layers. About 1 1/2 hours for the tube pan. Sprinkle confectioners' sugar between layers and on top. No other icing is necessary, cake keeps well.
