Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined.

Pour half of the batter into the prepared cake pan. Spoon the blackberry jam evenly over the batter. Sprinkle with chopped pecans. Pour the remaining batter over the jam and pecans.

Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
