DESCRIPTION

This classic Kentucky blackberry jam cake is often served during the holidays and the Derby and is usually made from commercial store bought blackberry jam. I deviated from tradition by first making the blackberry jam from scratch (donâ€™t worry it takes less than 10 minutes to do) so I could make sure it had the best flavor possible and added Kentucky bourbon to the cake and sauce. Donâ€™t be intimidated by the ingredient list below, the recipe comes together pretty fast. My bourbon of choice for the dessert was, of course, Woodford Reserve but feel free to substitute any bourbon or whiskey if you want. You can even substitute store bought preserves or jam for the blackberry jam if you want, I wonâ€™t tell anyone.
