Steps for preparing the crumble cake with jam
Prepare the dough by placing the butter in chunks in a bowl. Add the flour and mix quickly. Add eggs, sugar, salt, and lemon peel. Work with your hands to form large crumbs.
Line a 9.5-inch cake pan with parchment paper. Pour 3/4 of the crumbs and press to form the base and edges. Pour and spread the jam.
Cover with the remaining crumbs and bake in a static oven at 356°F for 40-45 minutes. Allow the crumble to cool before removing it from the pan and serving.
