Ingredients
- 1 cup margarine, softened
- 2 cups white sugar
- 4 eggs
- 3 cups self-rising flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups raspberry jelly
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in the flour and milk, alternating so the dough does not become too stiff or too runny. Mix in vanilla. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until the center springs back when pressed lightly. Spread the raspberry jelly over the cake while it is warm, but not hot, so it will soak into the cake.

This is my favorite cake and I make it for holidays. I have learned to substitute organic and grassfed fats for the ingredients. In other words, use the healthiest ingredients to make this already fabulous, delicious cake. I also use jelly I have made myself. So good as leftover for the morning after Thanksgiving and Christmas!
Just pulled this cake out of the oven and it only took 40m in my oven at the temperature that was suggested. It looks and smells so good!! Can’t wait for the best part—EATING IT :)Also, I substituted shortening an some salt for the butter, I was out of butter.
This cake is tasty but my cake was not moist. In fact we all Commented that it tasted like cornbread. Made exactly as written.
This was a very easy recpie with a delicious flavor. I used homemade blueberry jelly and my family loved it.
My grandma used to make a similar cake, but used apple jelly. So good!
cooking time is off, took 55 minutes in my oven and I have an oven thermometer to make sure it is the right temp. Cake was good though.
Came out quite well even without adding the jelly
nice cake and i added banana and whipping cream for garnish ,,kids loved it
Easy to make and delicious. Very moist
This is almost like my Mama Dollie’s jelly cake. We’ve only used apple jelly whipped together with a little melted butter for the icing. Also, we poked a few holes in the cake with a fork to allow the jelly to ooze into the cake. Talking ’bout good!
just like my grandma made
My Grandmother makes this cake…If you’re not a fan of raspberry jelly use, you can substitute it w/ Apple or Apricot (which is used in grandmother’s original recipe)
Also, since I don’t have a lot of time, I think I will use a cake mix, preferably a butter-recipe type…it should turn out great. I’ll let you all know after Thanksgiving.
