Steps:
- CAKE:.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Prepare three 8" or two 9" round cake pans.
- Mix the cake mix and cinnamon together.
- Add the buttermilk, applesauce, vegetable oil, eggs, and jam.
- Mix thoroughly.
- Fold in the raisins and nuts.
- Pour batter into pans.
- Bake for 22 to 25 minutes or until they spring back when touched lightly in the middle.
- Cool for 10 minutes in the pan; invert cakes onto wire cooling racks.
- Set aside and prepare frosting.
- FROSTING:.
- Use the butter wrapper to grease the inside of a saucepan.
- Over medium heat melt butter and brown sugar together; bring to a boil.
- Stir and boil for 2 minutes exactly.
- Stir in evaporated milk; bring to boil.
- Remove from heat and add powdered sugar and vanilla.
- Beat until smooth and creamy.
- Not only do I double the recipe, but at the end I put it in a mixing bowl before it cools down and beat it with a mixer. When it starts cooling it will get thicker, so frost cake before it hardens.
- I made seven of these yesterday, wrapped them in plastic wrap after they cooled, put them in cake boxes with a bow and a tag and they made WONDERFUL (and very appreciated) presents for family and friends.
- Enjoy, and please let me know if you enjoy them as much as we do!

Beat with a wooden spoon or whisk until the frosting is smooth. Add 1/2 to 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar, but not so much so that it thickens and hardens.
