Berry Jam Cake

Last May, 18 May 06, to be exact, I made Berry Jam Cake. It is actually called Chocolate Jam Cake but since I omitted the chocolate and just used berry jam for this recipe, I call it Berry Jam Cake instead. This is how it looks like.

Ingredients

100 g butter
2/3 cup caster sugar
1/3 cup jam (i used mixed berry jam)
1/3 cup hot water
2 medium eggs, beaten
1 1/4 cup self raising flour
1/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda

Method

Preheat oven to 170C.
Grease a 20 cm tin tin with softened butter.
Sift flour and bicarbonate of soda into a blow.
Combine butter, sugar, jam and water in a small pan over low heat till dissolved.
Add butter mixture and eggs to the flour and mix but do not overbeat.
Turn the mixture into the greased tin and bake for 40 mins or until cooked.
Allow cake to cool in the tin for abt 10 mins before turning it out to cool on a wire tray.
