OLD-FASHIONED STRAWBERRY JAM CAKE
This was my husband's great-grandmother's old-fashioned strawberry cake recipe. We enjoy eating it at Christmas. Make sure the humidity is low when making the filling. This makes a lot of filling. If I have extra filling, I drop it on waxed paper and we eat it like divinity.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 9-inch cake pans.
- Mix sugar, pecans, strawberry jam, butter, eggs, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a bowl. Mix baking soda into buttermilk; add to the batter. Add flour a little at a time, mixing well, until combined.
- Pour batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool, about 30 minutes.

Heat to 240 degrees F (115 degrees C) or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from water and placed on a flat surface.
