Ingredients

  • Eggs: 2 large

  • Vanilla Sugar: 1 packet (8g)

  • Salt: A pinch

  • Sugar: 120g (2/3 cup)

  • Oil: 120ml (1/2 cup)

  • Milk: 120ml (1/2 cup)

  • Flour: 220g (1 ¾ cups)

  • Baking Powder: 1 tablespoon

  • Jam: 50g (your favorite variety, like strawberry or apricot)

  • Walnuts: 50g, chopped

  • Baking Dish: 24 cm Bundt or round pan

Preparation Steps

  1. Prep the Pan and Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).

    • Grease your 24 cm baking dish with a little oil or butter and dust lightly with flour to prevent sticking.

  2. Mix the Batter:

    • In a large bowl, whisk the 2 eggs, vanilla sugar, salt, and 120g of sugar until the mixture is light and frothy.

    • Pour in the 120ml of oil and 120ml of milk. Whisk until well combined.

  3. Add Dry Ingredients:

    • Sift the 220g of flour and 1 tablespoon of baking powder into the wet mixture.

    • Gently whisk until you have a smooth batter with no lumps.

  4. Assemble with Jam and Nuts:

    • Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish.

    • Drop small spoonfuls of the 50g of jam over the surface of the batter. Use a toothpick or knife to gently swirl it in for a marbled effect.

    • Sprinkle the 50g of chopped walnuts evenly over the top.

  5. Bake to Perfection:

    • Bake for 35–40 minutes.

    • The cake is ready when it is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  6. Cool and Serve:

    • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
