How to Make a Quick Jam Cake?
Ingredients:
- About 6.3 oz of flour,
- 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder,
- About 2.8 oz of sugar,
- 3 eggs,
- About 2 oz of oil,
- About 3 oz of milk,

Instructions:
1. Begin by whisking together eggs and sugar until the mixture is fluffy and uniform.

5. Cover the jam with the remaining batter and bake in a preheated oven for 30 minutes at 356 degrees Fahrenheit.
6. Once baked, decorate the cake to your liking with powdered sugar, homemade icing, chocolate glaze, toasted almonds, or fresh fruit.
