This recipe makes 2 round 8 or 9 inch single layer cakes. You can use any preserves you like but it works best if there are lots of fruity chunks in the preserves. It might be nice to make 2 different flavors, one for each cake. I got this recipe from a friend at church some time ago. She has since passes away but she was famous for her cakes.

    When cakes are done remove from oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes. Invert pans onto serving plates. If any fruit sticks to pans scrale from pan and spread on cake. Continue to cool. Serve cake with whipped topping if desired.

    NOTE: For best results use preserves that have more fruit than syrup. I believe any flavor can be used as long as it is not too syrupy.
