Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180oC (fan).
Line your traybake tin/loaf tin/whatever you're using with baking paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the butter & sugar until fully combined.>You’re looking for the mix to be paler, smooth & creamy! I use an electric whisk for 2 mins.
Crack all the eggs into a separate bowl & beat together.
Add the beaten eggs, flour and baking powder to the butter/sugar and whisk together until JUST combined (20-30seconds).>Don’t over whisk, otherwise you’ll lose the air bubbles & they won’t be quite so fluffy!
Pour the mix into your tin. It should be about 2/3 full to give it enough room to expand when it bakes.
Bake for approx 30 mins.>You’re looking for them to be firm on top but springy to touch and a knife/skewer poked into the middle of the cake should come out relatively clean!
Topping
Tip your jam into a microwaveable bowl. Heat in 15 second blasts until runny.
Pour over the cake whilst its still warm.
Add all your biscuits whilst its still warm too. It looks best if you place them all in different ways - cut them in half, face up, face down, crumbled, whatever you fancy!!
