Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup fruit jam (e.g., raspberry, strawberry, or apricot)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or springform pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter and eggs until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Mix in the sour cream and vanilla extract until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until no dry streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix.
Spoon half of the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
Dollop half of the jam on top of the batter in small spoonfuls, then use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the jam into the batter.
Repeat with the remaining batter and jam, spreading the batter evenly on top and swirling the remaining jam.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add more milk if needed to reach a pourable consistency.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake and allow it to set before serving.
