Spread the jam evenly over the pie crust.
Decorate the cake (optional):
Use the remaining dough to form strips to form a lattice over the jam, or simply make a decorative border around the edge of the pan.
Bake the cake:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C if using a fan). Bake the cake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the jam begins to bubble around the edges.
If the cake browns too quickly, cover it with aluminum foil for the last few minutes of baking.
Finishing and serving:
As soon as the cake is ready, take it out of the oven and let it cool completely in the tin.
If you like, you can sprinkle it with powdered sugar before serving.
Tips for serving and storing
The jam cake tastes delicious on its own, perhaps with a cup of coffee or tea. You can keep it at room temperature for 2-3 days or in the fridge for a week. But it tastes even better if you serve it the next day, when the dough has absorbed some of the jam.
Guarantee
With this recipe you get a crispy, fragrant cake with a sweet and delicious filling. A simple dessert that the whole family will enjoy!
