Instructions: Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease an 8 inch cake pan and line with wax paper. Beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the eggs, then fold in the flour and vanilla. Spoon into the pan and smooth the top. Bake about 30 minutes, or until risen and skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool. Combine the remaining jam, lemon juice and water and heat gently. Sieve to remove seeds. To serve, cut the cake into wedges and place on plates with a spoonful of blackberry sauce. Serve with whipped cream, mint leaves and grapes.
