Cream butter and gradually add the sugar. Cream together until light and fluffy. Add well beaten eggs. Sift flour before measuring and add to it the spices and the salt (the salt isn't necessary if you are using all butter). Dissolve soda in buttermilk and add it and the flour mixture alternately to the sugar-butter-egg mixture, beating after each addition. Lightly dredge the nuts and fruit with a little extra flour and add. Next add the jam. Stir to get good distribution. Grease and paper-line 2 (9-inch) cake pans, 2 inches deep. Bake at 325° for 40 minutes or until done. Ice with a caramel icing of your choice.
