Jam Filled Buttermilk Country Cake

This jam filled cake is something you slide into. Slitter, even. Warmth and sliding do, after all, seem to go hand in hand. For example, when my sister and I were children my mother would take us to the local swimming pool from morning to night. Those days of laziness were punctuated by long stretches spent splashing around until exhaustion. And the most delicious part, the most completely satisfying, was climbing out of the pool and sliding directly onto the concrete, belly first. That is the very definition of basking. While we played, the deck dutifully soaked up all of the heat from the sun and held it for us until we were ready. And the only way to get it, was to slide right on.

If you need a similar kind of lush warmth to press up against during these colder winter days, this would do very well. It's not, however, about complicated focused enjoyment, with many layers of flavor and texture. It's a simple little thing, like warm summer skin.
