Recipe

Tools

• Oven
• Circular cake mold, the one I use is about 23cm diameter and 4.5cm high
• Mixing bowl
• Cooking scale (to measure ingredients)

Ingredients

• 150g fridge-cold unsalted butter
• 150g white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 400g all-purpose / wheat flour
• Pinch of salt
• 11g baking powder (for the one I buy that's 1 bag)
• ~150g of fruit jam of your liking (I never properly measured it, it needs to cover one surface of the mold)
• Something for oiling the cake mold (I use peanut oil)

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 180°C (note: I have a fan-assisted oven, I don't know how a non-fan-assisted oven changes things).
2. In the bowl, put flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar. Mix them a bit.
3. Cut the fridge-cold butter into small squares and add them to the bowl.
4. Add the eggs.
5. Thoroughly mix everything. The mixture should look homogenous and have a chunky texture.
6. Oil up the cake mold.
7. Pour rouhgly half the mixture in the cake mold. It should entirely cover the mold's bottom.
8. Spread fruit jam all over the mixture in the mold (my notes say "melt jam" but it's not marked as validated, will have to try).
9. Cover the jam with the rest of the mixture from the bowl.
10. Bake in oven for 25 minutes (note: again, fan-assisted oven).
11. Remove from oven and let it cool.
