Preparation of the Jam Cake
In a bowl, pour the eggs, sugar, oil, and milk and stir with a spoon for 2 minutes quickly.
In another bowl, sift and mix together the flour and baking powder.
Add the dry ingredients to the bowl with the liquid mixture and stir with a spoon for a few minutes until you get a smooth, lump-free mixture (it really takes very little time, it’s very easy!).
Grease and flour the pan, pour in the batter, and level it with a spatula, then spoon the jam over the top.
Preheat the electric oven to 428°F.
Once the oven is hot, bake and cook for 30 minutes (towards the end of the cooking time, always do the toothpick test because ovens are not all the same), once the cake is cooked, take it out and let it cool outside the oven.
It is normal for the cake to lower in the area where you placed the jam as it cools, once cold, remove it from the pan, sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve!
