In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Add 3/4 cup of the flour to the butter-sugar mixture, blending until it resembles coarse crumbs. Remove 2/3 cup of this mixture and set aside for topping.

Gradually add the remaining 1 1/4 cups of flour and the buttermilk alternately, beating after each addition just until blended.

Drop teaspoonfuls of the berry preserves evenly over the top of the batter. Using a knife, gently swirl the preserves through the batter to create a marbled effect.
