Directions

1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2

Cream butter and sugar.
3

Separate eggs. Set egg whites aside.
4

Add buttermilk, egg yolks and pineapple to butter and sugar. Blend until smooth.
5

Sift dry ingredients together. (Nutmeg and allspice can be increased to 1 teaspoon each if you like more spices.) Add to the batter and mix until blended. Stir in pecans.

Beat eggs white until stiff, then fold into batter. Pour batter into 2 well greased 8-inch cake pans.

Bake for 30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
8

Allow to cool completely on wire racks. Spread a layer of your favorite jam on top of the bottom half of the cake. I prefer blackberry. Put on the top half of the cake and sprinkle with powdered (confectioners) sugar.

You can apply icing to this cake-I just prefer powdered sugar.
