Ingredients
- 400-450 g all-purpose flour
- 100 g sugar
- 100 g butter
- 5 g baking powder
- 1 egg
- 350 g jam of your choice
Instructions
- Combine butter with sugar in a deep mixing bowl. Take butter out of the fridge beforehand as should be slightly soft (30 minutes will be enough).
- Thoroughly stir ingredients with a fork until they are evenly combined.
- Beat in one egg and stir the mixture for the dough again.
- Sift flour through a sieve into the bowl together with baking powder. If it will be easier for you, add flour in bunches.
- Knead the dough until it becomes soft and elastic but be careful, as it should not stick to hands.
- Divide the dough into 2 parts, one slightly bigger than the other one. Cover parts with plastic wrap and freeze them for 30 minutes.
- Take a cake pan and grease it with butter or use parchment paper. Grate the biggest ball with a coarse grater directly into the pan; do not forget to form sides for the cake.
- Pour jam into the form with a cake dough, and even out it with a spatula.
- Take the second ball of dough from the freezer and evenly grate it over the jam to cover it fully. Bake the cake for 25-30 minutes at 350ºF/180°C.
- When the cake is ready, take it out and cool it before serving. Enjoy with hot cocoa or a cup of tea!
