This really hit home with me. I am from McCreary County Ky and my mom made this every Christmas and she made it a few days early. She said the longer it sat, the better it tastes. She used her cadt iron skillets to bake the cakes, and usually made about 4 tiers, smaller in size as they went up. I am going to make your recipe either this week for Thanksgiving or for Christmas. Thank you for sharing!!❤❤

@stacymackey676 Thank you so much for responding and sharing your pastor's mom recipe! I agree with the apple butter. I grew up on it. Brings back great memories. Adding the jelly as an extra filling/glaze brings back memories of my grandma's jelly cake. She used Rex jelly for hers. I will definitely be making this cake. Thanks again Chef Stacy and Pastor John.🙏🏾

OMG, that cake looks soooo good! Mama Hampton knocks it out of the box and Chef Stacy did justice to the recipe! Happy change of life Pastor Hampton!
Thank you for the comment! The cake has such a moist spice cake taste! I hope you make it and enjoy!
This southern Ohio born girl’s Grandmas made jam cakes too!!!! We honor you Ms. Margorie!❤
I love this! I still want to use the jam as a filling! LOL but I didn’t want to tamper with Miss Majorie’s recipe!
