Lemon Jam Cake

This lemon jam cake is light and fluffy, with a bright citrus flavor that will leave your taste buds begging for more. The lemon glaze adds a nice tangy finish that is just perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients:

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup buttermilk
½ cup lemon jam
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
For the glaze:
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour one 9-inch round cake pan.
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract. Gradually stir in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
Spread half of the batter into the prepared pan. Spread the lemon jam over the batter. Carefully spread the remaining batter over the jam, making sure not to mix the two layers. Sprinkle the lemon zest over the top of the cake.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
Serve and enjoy!
