Method

Preparation of Base

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, combine the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and the egg. Whisk until smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Red Spot Filling

  1. 4

    Prepare Filling

    In a small bowl, mix together the raspberry jam and fresh raspberries until combined. This will create the 'red spot' filling.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

    Pour half of the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.

  3. 7

    Add Filling

    Spoon the raspberry filling over the batter, leaving a small border around the edges.

  4. 8

    Top with Remaining Batter

    Pour the remaining batter over the raspberry filling, spreading it evenly to cover the filling completely.

  5. 9

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  6. 10

    Cool

    Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serving

  1. 11
