 I saw this recipe a few months ago and just knew I had to make it for the holidays!

It also gave me just another reason to buy my favorite Blackberry Jam and Cracker Barrel!

Get those toasted pecans ready..
 
IMG_8775
 
Toss them along with the raisins into the batter…
 
IMG_8776
 
Pour the batter into your 2–9 inch… greased and floured pans…

Mmmm…smells heavenly after baking on 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes…
I kept performing the toothpick test at 30 minutes because I’ve never cooked a layer cake that long…
I recommend this as each oven is so very different…

Cool about 10 minutes and turn them out to cool completely…
 
IMG_8781
 
In your saucepan, add the butter, brown sugar, vanilla, corn syrup and milk…
 
IMG_8782
 
I just melted it all on low until all the ingredients were smooth…
 
IMG_8783
 
Add the confectioner’s sugar and whisk until smooth…
 
IMG_8784
 
You’ll want to pour between the layers and on the sides and top while it’s slightly warm…
 
IMG_8787
 
It will be very drippy…
 
But just keep working with it with your knife or spreader..
 
IMG_8788
 
It will all come together like this!
 
IMG_8789
 
I added a bit of the jam and some blackberries on top!

It was yummy!

Definitely a Southern treat!
