In a medium pot, cream together the margarine and sugar. Add eggs and combine well. In a large pot, mix well flour, allspice, cloves, cinnamon, and salt. In a small pot, combine buttermilk and baking soda. Add the butter mixture to the flour mixture alternating with the buttermilk mixture. Mix well each time. Add raisins, pecans, jam, and 1 tbs flour. Stir well until combined. Line the bottoms of 2 greased 9in cake pans with wax paper and grease the paper. Pour the batter into the pans and bake in a cardboard oven at 325 for 40 minutes.
