Caution: excessive cuteness and deliciousness ahead!

1

Mix it up!

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix everything together until well combined.

2

Add the magic

Next, add 1/2 cup of unsalted butter (softened), 1 cup of milk, 2 eggs, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix everything together until you have a smooth batter. Get ready for some serious magic!

3

Fill it up

Now it's time to get creative! Take your favorite fruit jam or jelly (strawberry, raspberry, or whatever floats your tart boat) and spread it evenly onto a layer of the batter in a greased 9-inch round cake pan. You can also add a sprinkle of rainbow-colored magic if you're feeling extra whimsical.

4

Seal the deal

Carefully pour the remaining batter over the jam layer, making sure to cover it completely. Seal the deal by smoothing the batter with a spatula or the back of a spoon. Pat yourself on the back for a job well done!

5

Bake to perfection

Place your masterpiece in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Resist the temptation to open the oven door too soon - the magic needs time to work its charm!

6

Let it cool, then devour

Once baked to perfection, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, slice and serve this delightful creation to your eager friends. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the praise!
